There had been
riots in India, no denying, but as general elections are approaching so we see
more & more allegations being labeled against each other by different parties.
Though it is being done to gain political mileage and polarize different ethnic
groups for vote purposes. In the language
of Social media more “lumpen, maroon”
political party works will troll general public by inciting the emotions. Is it
not going to harm our Nation in long run? Religious Violence in India includes acts of violence by followers of one religious group against
followers and institutions of another religious group, often in the form of
rioting. Religious violence in India, especially in recent times, has
generally involved Hindus and Muslims, although incidents of violence have
also involved Christians, Jews and Sikhs.
Despite the secular Constitution of India,
broad religious representation in various aspects of society including the
government, the active role played by autonomous bodies such as NHRC(India) and NCM(India),
and the ground-level work being out by NGOs, sporadic and sometimes
serious acts of religious violence tend to occur as the root causes of
religious violence often run deep in history, religious activities, and
politics of India.
Along with domestic organizations, International
Human Rights Organizations such as Amnesty International & Human
Rights Watch publish reports on acts of religious violence in India.
So I tried to
understand how and when these riots or you can say Religious Violence started
in India. In the process I am going back to very ancient time since we have
some documents to understand this type of violence though that was time when
general public was not involved in riots or religious violence. At that time
mostly it was King/Rulers/foreign Invaders who ordered genocides.
The study has
been divided in different parts right from Ancient
India, Medieval India, Colonial India & India after
Independence.
