Communal harmony means living people together in the society with love and peace amongst them irrespective of different religions, castes, creeds, sex, and backgrounds. Communal harmony is the characteristic of democratic state that is governed by the rule of law. Communal violence is one of the major threats to democracy and also a barricade to the socio- economic development of the nation. All religions must advocate living in harmony, peace and togetherness and must convey the message of love and brotherhood and not the hatred. Strict provisions must be made in the Indian Penal Code to prevent the communal conflicts. It is also indispensable to introduce a bill to prevent communal conflicts in the nation and to make stringent provisions against any type of communal aggression, illegitimate congregation, riot or any sort of activity which may lead to discord.
