For an in-depth analysis, there are many research papers and books available. It is also not possible to cover all the pogroms here because of the sheer numbers, so I have recorded only the major ones.

Rumors of cow slaughter, or rape/kidnapping/eve-teasing, or desecration of a temple, or disturbances in religious processions, etc. are the triggers which start these genocides. The objective of this thread is to raise awareness and call for a reform in the society.

The anti-Muslim pogroms during the 50s were less, the number of lives lost during this decade was 316. Maybe the Muslim massacres during 1947 had quenched the thirst for a few years. From the 60s, communal riots appear to be systematically engineered.

1961 Jabalpur - 55 Muslims killed, 158 injured, many houses burnt. Hindutva mob locked 14 Muslims in a house, including some children, and set fire to the house and burnt all of them alive.

1964 Calcutta - Between 400-500 Muslims killed. 70,000 Muslims fled their homes. Muslims in Calcutta became more ghettoized than ever in the aftermath of this pogrom.

7/n

1964 Rourkela, Jamshedpur, etc. - 2000 Muslims killed in different parts of Bihar, Orissa and MP. Hindutva mobs were given a free hand by the administration. Due to the involvement of RSS, M.S. Golwalkar was arrested.

1967 Ranchi-Hatia riots- Urdu was proposed to be 2nd language, it was opposed by Jan Sangh and its leader Deen Dayal Upadhyay. This dispute led to anti-Muslim violence in Ranchi where 184 Muslims were killed. 195 shops looted and burnt, three mosques desecrated.

9/n

1968 Aurangabad – Rumor (fake news!) of injury to a cow by a Muslim. Loot and arson by RSS - Jan Sangh and *Congress* workers. Since the Congress candidate in Aurangabad was a Muslim, Jan Sangh approached the masses on a purely communal platform.

10/n

1968 Karimganj, Assam - Again a cow. 41 Muslims killed. Hindu traders of the region resented the fact that the Muslim traders had an edge over them, due to their relations with the Muslim population in East Pakistan (Bangladesh).
