You people can have your views on Demographic Change , Demographic Disorder, Demographic Dislocation.

Also I hope you know other related terms Demographic Dividend, Demographic Disaster, Demographic Winter etc.

Vice-President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar Tuesday said there was so much demographic change in some areas in the country that they have become a “political fortress”, where elections and democracy have no meaning as the results are a foregone conclusion.

demographic change was becoming a challenge in the world.

“If this challenge, which is alarmingly worrisome, is not addressed in a systemic manner, it will graduate to an existential challenge.

It has happened in the world. I need not name countries that have lost their identity 100% because of this demographic disorder, demographic earthquake. Demographic disorder is no less severe in consequences than a nuclear bomb.

“Look at our culture, our inclusivity and unity in diversity are facets of affirmative, positive social order, very soothing. We are for all with open arms and what is happening?

This is being shaken and severely compromised by these demographic dislocations, evil design divisiveness on the plank of caste and the like also,” Dhankhar said.

Demographic dislocation is turning out to be a fortress of political impregnability in democracy when it comes to elections in some areas. We have seen this change in the country so much is the demographic change that the area becomes a political fortress. Democracy has no meaning, elections have no meaning at all. Who will be elected turns out to be a foregone conclusion and this area in our country, unfortunately friends, is increasing.”

UP PCS postponed

According to the NCERT textbook, in everyday language, the word ‘communalism’ refers to aggressive chauvinism based on religious identity.

Chauvinism itself is an attitude that sees one’s own group as the only legitimate or worthy group, with other groups being seen – by definition – as inferior, illegitimate and opposed.

Thus, to simplify further, communalism is an aggressive political ideology linked to religion. This is a peculiarly Indian, or perhaps South Asian, meaning that is different from the sense of the ordinary English word.

It is important to emphasise that communalism is about politics, not about religion. Although communalists are intensely involved with religion, there is in fact no necessary relationship between personal faith and communalism.

A communalist may or may not be a devout person, and devout believers may or may not be communalists. However, all communalists do believe in a political identity based on religion. The key factor is the attitude towards those who believe in other kinds of identities, including other religion-based identities.
• Communalists cultivate an aggressive political identity, and are prepared to condemn or attack everyone who does not share their identity. One of the characteristic features of communalism is its claim that religious identity overrides everything else.

Communalists cultivate an aggressive political identity, and are prepared to condemn or attack everyone who does not share their identity. One of the characteristic features of communalism is its claim that religious identity overrides everything else. Whether one is poor or rich, whatever one’s occupation, caste or political beliefs, it is religion alone that counts. All Hindus are the same as are all Muslims, Sikhs and so on. This has the effect of constructing large and diverse groups as singular and homogenous.


During communal riots, people become faceless members of their respective communities. They are willing to kill, rape, and loot members of other communities in order to redeem their pride, to protect their home turf.
