Kairana Riots

The Kairana Riots refer to violent conflicts that occurred in Kairana, Uttar Pradesh, India, around 2013. Tensions arose from communal disputes between Hindu and Muslim communities, often fueled by political and social differences. These conflicts included property damage, clashes, and social unrest, leading to fear and instability in the area. The incidents highlighted underlying issues of communal polarization, economic disparities, and political influence. Authorities intervened to restore order, but the riots underscored ongoing challenges related to communal harmony and social cohesion in the region.
