Today, on the straight bat a simple question that doesn’t have quite so simple an answer: why is it that the communal temperature rises in the country before a big election year? This past week has seen a horrific hate crime in a train where 3 passengers, all muslims, were killed by a railway protection force guard who also shot his senior. This week has also seen gruesome violence in Nuh and Gurugram in Haryana where at least 6 people have died, 4 of them Hindus, one a Sikh home guard, the other an Imam of an under construction mosque. We’ll come to Haryana in a bit but the fact is this isn’t the first case of mass violence in the last few months.
