The unrest began during a religious procession by Hindus in the Muslim-dominated Nuh district last week on Monday. The latest trouble comes as some members of the Muslim minority say they are unfairly treated by the government of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party , led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The government rejects the accusations.Modi is the first to showcase incidents or projects that reflect India’s rising prowess, but critics and analysts say he is often deliberately mute on controversies— such as the COVID-19 Delta surge across India or acts of communal violence.
“The prime minister believes that silence on these issues does not harm him. He believes that he is reaching out to the people of India through the work that his government is doing,” Jerath said. The danger of violence and distrust between communities also remains high in Manipur, which has essentially been split into two parts.
