communalism is the use of religion for politics. In general, politics and religion are separate. The religion is limited to one's private life. But a communal leader tries to take up "non existing" problems and exxagerate the role of religion in a problem. to understand this lets take an example. in a colony say there are 100 hindus and 28 muslims.Lets assume hindus in general are poor while the muslims are rich.the reason is that the muslim is the landed class while other is landless.clearly this is due to historical distribution of land.but a communal leader would say that muslims are exploiting hindus, mistreating them.it would instigate the majority to launch a war as try to put war as a tool to cast away their misery. this is how communalism functions.
