Now over to the hall-of-shame worst 18 (apart from 2002) using info someone already computed for us: WORST riot: 1947 Communal riots in Bengal | 5000-10000 Killed | Ruling party happened to be Congress Riot 2: 1969 | Communal riots in Ahmedabad | More than 512 Killed in the city. 3000 to 15000 range in the entire state | Riots for 6 months | Ruling party happened to be Congress Riot 3: Oct 1984 | Communal riots in Delhi | 2733 Killed | Ruling party Congress | Almost 100% casualty were Sikhs, which makes this a Rajiv Gandhi led genocide on Indias minorities | Followed by “Big Tree falls” justification too from the Prime Minister! Riot 4: Feb 1983 | Communal violence in Nellie, Assam | 2000-5000 killed | PM – Indira Gandhi (Congress party) - Indias worst slaughter of Muslims in any single riot (just 6 HOURS) Riot 5: 1964 Communal riots in Rourkela & Jamshedpur | 2000 Killed | Ruling party Congress Riot 6: August 1980 | Moradabad Communal riots | Approx 2000 Killed | Ruling Party Congress Riot 7: October 1989 | Bhagalpur, Bihar riots | 800 to 2000 killed | Ruling party Congress Riot 8: Dec 1992 - Jan 1993 | Mumbai, Maharashtra riots | 800 to 2000 killed | Ruling party Congress Riot 9: April 1985 | Communal riots in Ahmedabad, Gujarat | At least 300 Killed | Ruling party Congress Riot 10: Dec 1992 | Aligarh, UP | At least 176 killed | Ruling party Congress (Presidents rule) Riot 11: December 1992 | Surat, Gujarat | At least 175 killed | Ruling party Congress Riot 12: December 1990 | Hyderabad, AP | At least 132 killed | Ruling party Congress Riot 13: August 1967 | 200 Killed | Communal riots in Ranchi | Party ruling again Congress Riot 14: April 1979 | Communal riots in Jamshedpur, West Bengal | More than 125 killed | Ruling party CPIM (Communist Party) Riot 15: 1970 | Bhiwandi communal riots in Maharashtra | Around 80 killed | Ruling party Congress Riot 16: May 1984 | Communal riots in Bhiwandi | 146 Killed, 611 Inj | Ruling party Congress | CM – Vasandada Patil Riot 17: Apr-May 1987 | Communal violence in Meerut, UP | 81 killed | Ruling party Congress Riot 18: July 1986 | Communal violence in Ahmedabad, Gujarat | 59 Killed | Ruling party Congress At the end of the day, it’s not just a number game, but human tragedy … reflects badly how fractured our society is/was. It is also worth recounting that there has not been a SINGLE major riot in Gujarat since 2002, which speaks volume about the most favourite ‘punching’ bag of ‘seculars’. Some learn from a mistake and turn around … while some other “Bharat Ratnas” just kept on scoring double & triple centuries! COURTESY
