Other communal riots

Gujarat communal riots (1969)

Religious violence broke out between Hindus and Muslims during September–October 1969, in Gujarat. It was the most deadly Hindu-Muslim violence since the 1947 partition of India.

The rioting started after an attack on a Hindu temple in Ahmedabad, but rapidly expanded to major cities and towns of Gujarat.

                  

The violence included attacks on Muslim chawls by their Dalit Hindu neighbours.

 Some 660 people were killed (430 Muslims, rest Hindus), 1074 people were injured and over 48,000 lost their property.

Anti-Sikh Riots (1984)

In the 1970s,  Punjab had Sikh- autonomy and complained about domination by the Hindu. 

In Indira Gandhi's attempt to "save democracy" through the Emergency, India's constitution was suspended, 140,000 people were arrested without due process, of which 40,000 were Sikhs.

 Bhindranwale began to oppose the central government and moved his political base to the Darbar Sahib (Golden temple) in Amritsar, demanding creation on Punjab as a new country.

In June 1984, under orders from Indira Gandhi, the Indian army attacked the Golden temple with tanks and armoured vehicles

 

 Thousands of Sikhs died during the attack.

 In retaliation for the storming of the Golden temple, Indira Gandhi was assassinated on 31 October 1984 by two Sikh bodyguards.

    

The assassination provoked mass rioting against Sikh.

  As a result of the pogroms 10,000–17,000 Sikhs were burned alive or otherwise killed, Sikh people suffered massive property damage, and at least 50,000 Sikhs were displaced.

Ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus

In the Kashmir region, approximately 300 Kashmiri Pandits were killed between September 1989 to 1990 in various incidents.

 Notices were placed on the houses of all Hindus, telling them to leave within 24 hours or die.

 The proportion of Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir valley has declined from about 15% in 1947 to, by some estimates, less than 0.1% since the insurgency in Kashmir took on a religious and sectarian flavour.

Many Kashmiri Pandits have been killed by Islamist militants in incidents such as the Wandhama massacre and the 2000 Amarnath pilgrimage massacre.

Anti-Christian violence

A 1999 Human Rights Watch report states increasing levels of religious violence on Christians in India, perpetrated by Hindu organizations. 

In 2000, acts of religious violence against Christians included forcible reconversion of converted Christians to Hinduism, distribution of threatening literature and destruction of Christian cemeteries.

In Orissa, starting December 2007, Christians have     been attacked in Kandhamal and other districts, resulting in the deaths of two Hindus and one Christian, and the destruction of houses and churches. 

Hindus claim that Christians killed a Hindu saint Laxmananand, and the attacks on Christians were in retaliation. However, there was no conclusive proof to support this claim. Twenty people were arrested following the attacks on churches.Similarly, starting 14 September 2008, there were numerous incidents of violence against the Christian community in Karnataka.

HOWeVER, From all the examples of riots and violence in India are mainly the consequences of conflicts between religion and politics.  

MOREOVER, its evident that all the violence is against the minority communities..

The Hindus being a majority community have always dominated and oppressed the minority.

THERE IS ONLY DIVERSITY IN INDIA

THERE NO UNITY IN DIVERSITY

PARTITION OF INDIA

The Partition of India was the partition of the British IndianEmpire that led to the creation of the sovereign states of the Dominion of Pakistan (which later split into Pakistan and Bangladesh) and the Union of India (later Republic of India) on 15 August 1947.

The most saddening event in the history of modern India was partition. India was broken down into two states on the basis for religion. One part created was for the Muslims, Pakistan and the other was said to be Hindu dominated India. Partition was said to create ripples in both the communities which would not heal for many years to come and not to mention, the rivalry for 65 years.

Partition of Bengal (1905)

Bengal was partitioned by the British, in 1905, along religious lines - a Muslim majority state of East Bengal and a Hindu majority state of West Bengal. 

There were dozens of violent riots, between Muslims and Hindus, in the 1910s through the 1930s

                    

Partition of British India (1947)

 The British followed a divide-and-rule policy. In that respect, Indian Muslims were encouraged to forge a cultural and political identity separate from the Hindus.

 In the years leading up to Independence, Mohammad Ali Jinnah became increasingly concerned about minority position of Islam in an independent India largely composed of a Hindu majority.

Partition is somehow only on the basis of religious grounds.And whenever religion and politics come in contact of each other it always lead to a large destruction and massacre,ALWAYS.

You can take any worldwide example to justify this fact.

So to prevent the war from happening we need to keep religion and politics separated.



The Partition of Bengal was a cause of British's "Divide and Rule" Policy to break down the unity in diversity and keep them separated.
 The Partition of Pakistan was because of Jinnah who demanded a separate country for Muslims as they had a insecurity in themselves being a minority community to be oppressed by the majority community.

All this would have been resisted as lets not forget the fact that the Hindus and Muslims are living together since centuries accepting each other and their beliefs and customs until the political parties mis-used this distinction for their benefit.




RELIGION AND POLITICS SHOULD BE KEPT SEPARATED
AND
RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES SHOULD NOT GET INFLUENCED 
BY THESE POLITICAL PARTIES
ANY MORE

Politics and Power when misused and manipulated satisfying their own needs turns into destruction at the end for everyone.
INDIA was a peaceful and harmonious country until the politics contaminated the pond.

MINORITY VS MAJORITY

Minority community is a term referring to a category of people differentiated from the social majority, i.e., those who hold the majority of positions of social power in a society, and may be defined by law. 

 Minority communities in India, include
 Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Zoroastrians (Parsis) and Jains notified as minority communities under Section 2 (c) of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992.

Each community has its own religion with its own traditional  practices and beliefs
Communal 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 atheists,Christians, Jews, and Sikhs

THE MINORITY COMMUNITY  IN INDIA HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EXPLOITED AND OPPRESSED BY THE MAJORITY GROUP
