Secular India with communal conflicts.

India is a land of unity in diversity and people from many religious, social and cultural backgrounds harmoniously live in India.
However the diversity of the subcontinent has often been exposed under threats of religious violence.The Communal violence is one of the major threats to Indian democracy. It has been a barrier to the economic development of India.
The Communal issue has deep roots in the Indian past. The colonial rule was based on communal divisions. The British found the divide and rule policy as the most comfortable way to establish their hold in Indian subcontinent.
The communal issue associated with the Partition of India was one of the major catastrophes in Indian history. India faced the worst form of communal violence during the Partition which led to massive death and destruction.
Even after independence, communal violence continues. The first major clash between Hindus and Muslims occurred in Madhya Pradesh in 1961, the anti sikh riots 1984, the latest one Muzafarnagar riots in September 2013.There have been plenty more.
The Instrumental Explanation of Riots
In India, riots are often portrayed as a ‘spontaneous’ reaction to an event that acted as a trigger, where the rioters are anti-social extremist elements who threaten peace and amity between communities. This narrative distances the violence from the masses, ignores the  silence of the majority and more importantly, does not identify the political actors, authorities who gain from these riots and therefore instigate or refuse to prevent them.
Riots are triggered due to the presence of ‘institutionalized riot systems’, informal networks that nevertheless function on ‘established links of communication’ wherein a community is aware of the roles that will be played by specific persons during a riot. The rioters are often well-known to the police and local authorities.  A set of ‘specialists’ take on different roles: from those involved in the actual physical violence as ‘mobile gangs’, to those ‘fire tenders’ who await the chance of a riot by keeping the level of communal relations in a state of tension and others who work at spreading rumors, inciting violence among the general public. 
 Riots therefore, are partly organized, partly spontaneous forms of collective action designed to appear or made to appear afterwards as a spontaneous expressions of popular feeling.
It is the vote-bank dependent political environment banking on the evocative use of religious symbols and historical memories to polarize its audience, in my opinion, that helps explain the emotions of those civilians who participate in the violence, the silence of those who while not participating in the riots, do nothing to prevent it or help those who are being attacked.

The UPA government came up with a bill Communal violence (Suppression) Bill soon after it came to power. However, it was rejected owing to its legal faults. Later Communal violence (Prevention, Control and Rehabilitation) Bill was introduced in Parliament in 2005. It was referred to the parliamentary committee on constitutional affairs for review.
Prevention of communal and targeted violence (Access to Justice and reparations) Bill, 2011 is one of the  bills introduced in the Parliament with an agenda to prevent communal clashes.
According to the bill it aims to provide equal access to justice and protection to the vulnerable groups through effective provisions for investigation, prosecution and trial of offenses.
The Bill also intends to provide for the restorative relief, rehabilitation and compensation to all persons affected by communal violence.
The Bill aims to prevent atrocities, sexual assault, unlawful assemblies, hate propaganda etc being organized leading to communal violence.
There are constant pressures from the social activists to pass the bill for the prevention of communal violence in the country. However, due to the criticisms of some of the contentious provisions of the bill, it continues to be in cold storage.
According to the BJP and its allies, the bill is anti-majority and against the Federal structure of the nation.
 However all these issues and other can be discussed on the floor of the house by introducing the bill in the Parliament and eliminate its shortcomings. After that it should be made into a law. The prevention of communal violence is essential to keep the secular spirit of the constitution and the glory of the nation.
The recent Dadri killing over beef rumor is one more example of a could be possible communal violence. Wake up people is this what we want,killing innocent people over rumors or in fact i should say yes over an animal. "NO"  i am sure not,so lets pledge not to get lured over religious and sentimental propagandas spread and infected into us by enemies of secularism. We are all one, We are all Indians.

SPREAD HARMONY - LIVE IN PEACE - LOVE ALL .
