NEW DELHI: Authorities deployed hundreds of riot police and cut mobile internet services in parts of eastern India on Sunday after violent clashes erupted in at least eight states during a Hindu religious festival.

Police said one person was shot dead in the Nalanda district of Bihar state on Saturday after majority Hindus and minority Muslims clashed in the town of Biharsharif. This came a day after mobs fought running battles and set fire to homes and shops during at times frenzied public celebrations of Ram Navami.

India in the grip of communal violence

Hindu festivals regularly feature hundreds of people — sometimes brandishing swords, guns and tridents — provocatively marching through Muslim neighbourhoods with religious music pulsating through powerful sound systems.

India’s utility as a counterweight to China has ceased. That was its only purpose of existence till now. Since the 60’s at least, the only reason India existed was for that reason. Tibetan rebels and Dalai Llama are proof of that. If its purpose to exist ceases, we will not compromise on anything less than Northwestern India, part of our historical and successive Sultanates, consistently for a millennium, with only the last century and a half being an exception. In spite of that, India’s Muslims continued to play kingmaker in that region till 2014. Even if the so-called West wants to keep the south and the east, our historical, cultural, linguistic, genetic and religious identity must be respected.

I wonder why Indian Muslims don't seek refuge in Pakistan and Bangladesh the way minorities from those Islamic countries do. In fact the Majority of Pakistan are also found washed up in boats off the coasts of Europe! Pakistan can do propoganda, but you can't change the facts that people see. Only terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim and Zakir Naik seek refuge outside India.
