Communal Violence

Communal violence refers to conflicts between different religious, ethnic, or cultural groups within a community. It often arises from deep-seated grievances, competition for resources, or political manipulation. These conflicts can lead to riots, attacks, and widespread destruction, impacting social harmony and safety. Initiating factors may include provocative events, misinformation, or historical animosities. The aftermath often leaves lasting scars, including loss of lives, displacement, and a breakdown of trust among communities. Addressing communal violence requires dialogue, understanding, and efforts to rebuild relationships to prevent future conflicts.
