It seems communal violence can be a most potent tool to secure an electoral majority, the clashes between Hindus and Muslims in the poll bound states over the past few months suggests so.
Over the last two decades hardline saffron outfits have used low intensity communal riots to instigate a large section of the majority to wreak havoc on their minority brethren to win polls.
Both media and civil society tend to weigh communal clashes in terms of fatalities and the injured, no one sees how communities are being forced to shift to alien lands.
The 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots led to the displacement of @ 60,000 Muslims, such was their uprooting that the riots caused a demographic transformation in the region.
Riots are like oxygen for parties but the educated class has been so brainwashed by the netas that they don't care anymore, they are complicit by choosing to remain mute spectators to all the injustice happening around them.
Our only hope is that hubris meets it's end sooner or later, for the sake of the country we hope it is more sooner than later.
