The state has recorded 479 cases of rioting in the last six months, according to Madhya Pradesh Police. Of them, over 30% of the cases are related to communal clashes.

Bhopal: Nawab Khan (65) and Manjula Bai (55) are the victims of the latest communal violences that rocked Madhya Pradesh. Sitting outside their burnt houses in Sanjay Nagar locality of Madhya Pradesh's Khargone district, they say they have never witnessed such intense religious violence and deep mistrust between Hindus and Muslims.

Unlike other northern states, Madhya Pradesh does not have a long and bloody history of religious violence post independence. However, the situation has been changing over the years.

Nawab and Manjula who lived across the street in Sanjay Nagar locality for decades, were attacked by the rioters on April 10 after a clash broke out during a Ram Navami procession. Their houses were set on fire just like during riots in 1992 and 2015 that occurred in Khargone. But the distrust and bitterness that occurred with this riot has cost their bonhomie.

Often referred as Shanti Ka Tapu (Island of Peace) by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the state has recorded 479 cases of rioting (section 147 of the IPC) in the last six months according to Madhya Pradesh Police. Of them, over 30% of the cases are related to communal clashes.

An in-depth investigation of these clashes reveals a modus operandi of the riot; provocation, inaction of police, involvement of right-wing groups followed by one-sided action of the district administration after the violence. The recent wave of communal incidents occurred in MP point towards the electoral mathematics of Malwa and Nimar regions.
