History of Riots in India post Independence

Dear reader,

I wanted to post an article which is published in a daily national news paper in India.
It is about "History of Riots" in India by various political parties. Though I was not born before "1982"
but by reading history books and news papers, I came to know about these aswell.
Also I just wanted to add a phrase here: in India, constitution treats all the communities as equal and
hence all the communities take equal partition in communal disturbances :-)
And so the name is RIOT.
However if you see Hard liner countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, where minorities are always
getting suppressed/strangled and I name this as Communal JYADATI (word in Hindi) or One sided clash where minority
members can't even think to retaliate.

However most such clashes are politically motivated and for vote bank and so no comment on this. We humans
have always a tendency to fight and reveal our EGO this way....
