Communal Riots

Communal riots are violent conflicts that occur between different religious or ethnic groups within a society. These riots often arise from deep-seated social, political, or economic tensions and can be triggered by specific events, such as religious festivals, political rallies, or provocative statements. The violence can lead to significant loss of life, property damage, and long-lasting divisions in communities. Communal riots highlight the challenges of maintaining social harmony in diverse societies and often reflect broader issues of inequality, discrimination, and historical grievances. Addressing these underlying issues is crucial for preventing future conflicts.
