4/9

Indore, one of the most beautiful city situated in the heart ofIndia, also one of the safest place to live in...is now on its wayto thrive on the conditions like Mumbai....

Fortunately major share is in context of development ..butunfortunately....although little but not ignorable in the field of

riots too.

The politicians who does not have an iota of intelligence aretaking steps to gain vote through their bullshit speeches andactions to provoke sentimental disharmony among the innocentpeople to unleash the communal riots.

Their tactics to make their vote bag heavy creates the state ofterror and disputes between the communities, which finallyshed's blood on the impeccable character of our secularcountry.

INTRODUCTION


5/9

The Inside story.

The reason for the riots are not known exactly. Various notions for the riots are:

PRE PLANNED : Ugly game of politics,

Involvement of militants and terrorist for e.g. SIMI.

Accidental conditions.

The Amarnath Shrine Board land allotment row (the reasonfor the bandh) provided an opportunity to some people tospread communal hatred resulting in the death of innocentpeople.

According to the media when bandh supporters went to themuslim dominated area like Ranipura, Lodhipura, Mukeripura,Narsinghbazar, and Khajrana their were very small disputebetween the two sides.


6/9

Seeking lack of police involvement to control the conditions, angry andhumiliated people poured their anger on Khajrana police station. TheMuslim community retaliated with stones and other weapons

Firing was opened from both the sides resulting in the loss of threelives. Incidentally all three were Muslims.

Likewise, in Mukeripura area, when a mob of Bandh supportersreached near a Masjid .There were stones pelting from the roof top of

a building. Those who indulged in this violence covered their faceswith handkerchiefs. The Bandh supporting mob also started throwingstones in retaliation.

Police and district administration imposed curfew in four areas of thetown and throughout the whole town later.

It took around one week for the matter to become normal.

Congress leaders who were hiding in their homes the day of riotcollect money and give to all riot victim families.


7/9

Names of all injured are all lower caste. Which meansunemployment makes people do all this stuff.

Even tear gas shells thrown by police were thrownback by rioters poor training of police or bad quality

tear gas shells .

Stoning from both sides from where do they get thismaterial??

The people admitted to Mayur hospital have bothbullet and pellet injuries. Since the police don't use adouble barrel gun this indicated that private weaponswere also used in the firing.

INFERENCES


8/9

ACTION REQUIRED

Police should monitor who are the people in city who got Visas togo for Pakistan .

Stoning was done from high rise building in Bombay Bajar. After theincident police should make owners of all these buildingsaccountable so that such thing does not happen next time .

Bombay Bajar & Jawahar marg area is first to explode why doesnot police take precautionary measure from the beginning.

Unemployed people are easy targets who are hired for gettingindulge in such activities. Government should take steps toeradicate unemployment.

Politics should be stopped on such sensitive issues.


9/9

CONCLUSION

It is in the mind of whole world that how does a big state like India iscarrying on so smoothly with such diverse communities

As elsewhere in the country, Indore also has a glorious past ofcommunal harmony. However, for last two decades the engineered

communal tensions and clashes are increasing.

The Holkar state is known for its secular and progressive rule in theregion. It is common to find temples and mosques or churches builtadjacent to each other. Now, with the advent of communal strife,these symbols of peaceful coexistence are being used to poisonpeople's mind and to fill the two communities with hatred.

It is a high time for us the INDIANS to think about this crab and tryout hard to eradicate it not only from our city but from the wholeworld....so that our mother earth nourishes us in the terror freeenvironment........
