The Indian history is replete with incidents of Hindu-Muslim antagonism in different forms and manifestations. Incidence of communal riots in India has seen study increase in last few decades as compared to after independence. The magnitude and intensity of violence is a matter of concern for government, former police, intellectuals and common citizens. The violence may be small town based riot or large and extensive state sponsored program of Muslims in Gujarat in 2002. The recurrence of communal violence in India can be seen as result of various factors operating at the same time in Indian society and the nature of its electoral system. Many views have been put forward for analysing the causes of communal violence in India. The economic prosperity of Muslims creates insecurity among the Hindus who feel that they might be economically and socially shadowed by the Muslims. This fear takes form of resentment and anger, leading to discrimination and prejudice and ultimately incitement of violence against Muslims. However, since the coming of BJP government at centre in 2014, a consistent attempt is been made to stoke religious passions, Muslim hate, vilification of Muslims and identifying Muslims as ‘others’. Through laws, frivolous petitions, malified protests/demands etc an attempt is been made to blame the Muslims for everything wrong in the society. With much deliberation and immaculate planning, a line of action is been worked out by Hindu right-wing organisations to snatch away the rights of Muslims guaranteed by the constitution.
