After the independence India faced many communal riots, perhaps riots being every year. But not a single government can stop the riots. Every time political parties blame once another but can’t gave any solution to stop the riots. For the riots Secular parties blame to the communal parties and communal parties blame to the double policy of secular parties but every time only public burned in the fire of riots not the politician.

There is no religion, caste and ideology of a politician. But they always talk about the caste and religion, actually politicians are playing with public by these words, every time politicians won the game and public loses. Not only public loses but a nation lose there culture, identity and sovereignty. Yes these communal riots are the curse for the nation though our nation faced every year these communal riots. I have study these riots and here I giving some major riots in India:

I have this detail since 2003 but its enough for the study. (In this detail some small riots, riots on cast system and on due to reservation has not been taken, figures of casualties and injuries is as per government record or nearby actual figures.)

This study has shown that approx every year riots being in India. And there is no progress for stop the riots till today. It’s not a matter which government ruled in the state, Congress, Janata Party, BJP and any others, riots are taking place every now and then. Every time politicians, a part of media, and intellectual, discuss only for the Gujarat riots and Narendra Modi, they don’t argue for other riots.

Yes Narendra Modi was responsible for Gujarat riots but what about 1969 in Gujarat, 1980 in Moradabad (UP), 1984 in Delhi, 1987 in Meerut (UP), 1990 in Bihar, and Maharashtra Every time congress government was ruling in the state and the center also. But it’s not a matter riots are riots and at the time of secular government, there were secular riots, communal government – communal riots.

All governments are blaming to each other, only giving the reason of communal riots not giving the solution to stop this. After the death of Indira Gandhi, there being communal riots in Delhi, and a minister of a government has told that “JAB KOI BADA PED GIRTA HAI TAB DHARTI TO HILTI HI HAI”. Such type of statements has shown the irresponsibility of the politicians.

Public acted foolishly and due to illiteracy and unemployment, they can’t understand strategy of politicians. Try to stop these riots and stop this dirty politics - secular, communal or otherwise. Do not divide the country.
