    Conclusions

    • India is passing through very difficult times as religious fundamentalism is rearing its head & threatening harmonious relation between different communities. Unfortunately our political class is giving fillip to such tendencies.
    • The whole attitude and outlook of the people has been communalized.
    • We are exploiting illiterates, ethnic classes and linguistic groups for petty political gains. Our economy is not picking up and that minds are focused on communal problems.
    • The people should have clear vision and perception of issues.
    • While educating people, civil virtues must be inculcated through history books
    • The people must be taught to respect not only their but other religions as well.
