Aligarh riots have once again demonstrated that all riots in India start on similar lines. Either it is puja/ azaan on loudspeaker, objection to a make-shift religious place or one procession passing through area dominated by other community and a provocative slogan or stone pelting leading to the riot.
And 59 years after Independence we know that the same things again and again lead to riots. But strangely our governments are yet to devise a strategy to prvent these riots. The vested interests of politicians, land mafia and other sections cause communal riots.
In certain cities where local administration took steps like involving the troublemakers from both Hindu and Muslim communities and made them memmbers of the Peace Committees and gave them certain powers like that of Special Police Officers to contain the anti-socials, the riots stopped. Innumerable ways are there to check riots but the fact is that our governments just don’t want these riots to stop.
In cities where leaders of other communities are invited as chief guests in functions of one community the problem just ended. But unfortunatelye ven people are yet to take up cudgels and devise a system themselves if the government fails in its task.
