In community-oriented societies, the community plays a major role in shaping the personality of individuals, setting up strict rules of conduct and defining the limits of possible idiosyncrasies. In individual-oriented societies, the margin of freedom is so wide, individuals have the option to define their own norms and thus adopt  conducts of their own choice.

A uniting belief in a god, spirituality, or way of life.  \n\nWHY MANY DOUBT\nThat Religion Can Unite Mankind\n“LOVE your neighbor.” (Matthew 22:39) This basic rule of conduct is acclaimed by many religions. If such religions were effective in teaching their members to love their neighbor, their flocks would be drawn together and be united. However, is that what you have observed? Are religions a force for unity? A recent survey in Germany asked the question: “Do religions unite people, or are they more likely to separate them?” Of the respondents, 22 percent felt that religions unite, whereas 52 percent felt that they divide, or separate. Perhaps people in your country feel much the same way.\n\nWhy do many have little confidence that religion can unite mankind? Perhaps because of what they know from history. Instead of drawing people together, religion has often pushed them apart. In some instances, religion has been the cover under which the most dreadful atrocities have been committed. Consider some examples from just the last 100 years.\n\nInfluenced by Religion\nDuring the second world war, Roman Catholic Croats and Orthodox Serbs in the Balkans were at one another’s throats. Both groups claimed to follow Jesus, who taught his followers to love their neighbor. Yet, their conflict led to “one of the most appalling civilian massacres known to history,” as one researcher put it. The world was aghast at the death toll of more than 500,000 men, women, and children.\n\nIn 1947 the Indian subcontinent was home to some 400 million people—about a fifth of humanity—mainly Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs. When India was partitioned, the Islamic nation of Pakistan was born. At the time, hundreds of thousands of refugees from both countries were burned, beaten, tortured, and shot in a series of religious massacres.\n\nAs if the foregoing examples were not disturbing enough, the turn of the century brought to the fore the threat of terrorism. Today, terrorism has put the whole world on alert, and many terrorist groups claim to have religious ties. Religion is not viewed as a promoter of unity. Instead, it is often associated with violence and disunity. Small wonder, therefore, that the German newsmagazine FOCUS compared the world’s major religions—Buddhism, Christendom, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Taoism—to gunpowder.\n\nInternal Squabbles\nWhile some religions are at war with one another, others are beset by internal squabbles. For instance, in recent years the churches of Christendom have been split by ongoing debates on matters of doctrine. Clergy and laity alike ask: Is birth control permitted? What about abortion? Should women be ordained as priests? How ought the church to view homosexuality? Should a religion sanction war? In view of such disunity, many wonder, ‘How can a religion unite mankind if it cannot unite even its own members?’\n\nClearly, religion in general has failed to be a force for unity. But are all religions marked by divisions? Is there a religion that is different—one that can unite mankind?

Anarchy, and one in which all countrymen are moral. (And a theocracy, if everyone believes, but then it's a god's dictatorship) That is the problem with communism- for it to work, you need a strong dictatorship.

Communism means to support a particular community... say if a group of communists support a particular religion then they are called as communists of that religion .. not only religion but also workers .. russian communist party supported russian workers hence they have a scythe and a corn in their flag representing farmers...\n\nSocialism means supporting every religion or every aspect of a particular country.. such as India is a Socialist country which treats all religions equally... and not a particular community..

Let not your imagination run fast.\nIntodays world the smaller a nation the more merry for all the rest. See USSR it has been split. \nSo the days of any two power joining to swallow another power are over. \nRemember the culture of each area varies and the people living therein want their independence. So some type of PANCHAYAT RAJ\nat each village level under the over all control of a joint head may work well. \nEven in the worst of dream no INDIAN would wish anything happence to the independence of PAKISTAN or AFGANISTAN or CEYLON or BANGLADESH.or NEPAL

OBC stands for OTHER BACKWARD COMMUNITIES.\nIn India certain communities are termed as forward and certain as backwards etc based on their level of education over the last 50 years etc and even the constitution mentions.Since these backward communities cannot compete with forward communities in the matter of admission to professional colleges etc certain percentages are kept reserved for them\nThe percentage has become an issue between the forward and backward communities and the various political parties, the Govt etc etc

Well...you could say that the caste system (and I assume you're talking about India here) brings people together because it reinforces structural hierarchies in society. People across many different castes contribute to the maintenance of the caste system.\nThis is not necessarily a good thing in my opinion. It's saying that people come together to preserve this tradition which is not necessarily a good one. But they're coming together to do so nonetheless, so I suppose that answers your question.

The British divided this country on basis of religion now our own politicians and countrymen are doing the same on basis of caste.Why is there no reservation on basis of merit and financial position,caus the politicos fear their seats might be taken by educated people .Then there would be no fools to run this country.Brahmins are becoming the real minority and aliens here.For the politicians of this country votes are above the welfare of their countrymen.
