Sectarianism Case Study

The term sect was used in sociology of religious, which means to select specific kind of religious group and, that particular-kind of religious group is known as sect (Khan and Chaudhry 2011:74). In sectarianism an individual or groups stick to a specific sect or religion to develop the sensation of self-righteousness and assume the manner of intolerance towards other communities of the same religion. (Afzal et al.2012:19). In sectarianism, an individual or the community strict to religion in such a way that they have their own worship places and people of other sect are not allow to come to their worship places and practices their religion.

Sectarianism is not a new observable fact it has been existing in every society from the drawn of history

During the British rule in India the conflict had decreased to communities' level and the state was secular and chiefly unreliable and the use of sectarian was imperfect to the reason of self-identification Sunni-Shia conflict. The state was unbiased and had nonsectarian memo (Feyyaz 2011). In Sultanate rule in India (1206-1526), The Mughals were all Sunni affiliation except Humayun.

They translate the religion according to their own apprehension and believe that other as non-believer and inferior to them. Sectarian differences have re-emerged now with awful passion due to abandoned and uncontrolled religious intolerance enhance by the semi-literate, little educated religious leaders supported by selfish political leaders with vested interests (Naek 2001: 29).Sectarian violence in Pakistan remains a problem today.
