9. REMEDIES
• To assess the role of various groups, parties,
administration and police a commission of
impartial citizens should be appointed and their
findings considered as an indictment and
criminal actions should be taken against those
responsible for the perpetration of violence
• Peace marches, campaign to awaken common
sense may have symbolic value but we must
strive to remove the basic causes responsible
for the communal disharmony.
• The secular, rational and scientific outlook and
equal inculcate humanist values and a common
sense of citizenship in the people

10. FUTURE SCENARIO
• Looking at the factors and forces responsible for
the riots and every riot becoming more
organized, widespread, and use of more and
more lethal weapons it can be assumed that
soon it would take the shape of pitched battles,
like a civil war.
• If we want to save our nation from such a fate a
concerted economic, political and socio-cultural
program should be initiated and followed
vigorously.
