Muslim people look out of their houses after riots in Dariyapur
on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, April 14, 2002. A proposal by
India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for early polls in
Gujarat was strongly criticised on Saturday, with the party
accused of exploiting the country's worst religious violence in a
decade. The crisis in Gujarat, where more violence erupted on
Saturday, has threatened to engulf Prime Minister Atal Behari
Vajpayee's shaky coalition after several powerful partners
joined the opposition in demanding he rein in hardline Hindu
groups. REUTERS/Amit Dave

property loss
Property loss
The Muslim community suffered the majority of the
losses. Out of the 512 deaths reported in the police
complaints, 430 were Muslims. Property worth 42 million
rupees was destroyed during the riots, with Muslims losing
32 million worth of property. A distinctive feature of the
violence was the attack on Muslim chawls by their Dalit
Hindu neighbours. who had maintained peaceful relations
with them until this point.
Justice B.P. Jeevan Reddy
Justice Reddy Commission
The riots happened during the chief ministership of the Indian National
Congress leader Hitendra Desai. The Justice Reddy Commission set up by his
government blamed the Hindu nationalist organizations for the violence. Various
writers trace the causes of the riots to a mix of socioeconomic and political factors.
The actual violence was triggered by an attack on a Hindu temple on 18
September 1969. The riots started in Ahmedabad, and then spread to other areas,
notably Vadodara, Mehsana, Nadiad, Anand and Gondal. By 26 September, the
violence had been brought under control, however some more violent incidents
happened during 18–28 October 1969.
September violence
On 18 September 1969, a Muslim crowd had gathered in
the Jamalpur area of Ahmedabad to celebrate the
local Urs festival at the tomb of a Sufi saint (Bukhari
Saheb's Chilla). When the sadhus (Hindu holy men) of
the nearby Jagannath temple tried to bring their cows
back to the temple compound through the crowded
streets, some Muslim women were injured. The cows
also allegedly damaged some carts on which the Muslims
were selling goods.This led to violence in which some
Muslim youths attacked and injured the sadhus, and
damaged the temple windows.
Hindu-Muslim Riots
However, subsequently, a dargah (tomb shrine) near the
temple was damaged by some Hindus. A large number of
Muslims protestors gathered in the area. On the afternoon of
19 September, a crowd of 2500-3000 Muslims attacked the
temple again. Following this, the rumors spread and the
violence escalated, resulting in several incidents of arson,
murders and attacks on the places of worship around the area.
The Muslims in the eastern areas of the city and its suburbs
started fleeing their homes for safer areas. Several trains
carrying them were stopped and attacked.A curfew was
imposed on the evening of 19 September, and on the next day,
the army was called in to control the violence
Aftermath
The Justice Jaganmohan Reddy Commission of Enquiry was set
up by the Government of Gujarat's Home Department. It
published a report in 1971, questioning the police's role in the
riots. It found around six instances of Muslim religious places
adjoining police lines or police stations being attacked or
damaged. The police defended themselves claiming these police
stations did not have adequate strength since the forces were
busy quelling the riots at other places. However, the Commission
refused to entertain this argument, since there was no report of
damage to a Hindu place of worship near any police
station.Overall, and 3 temples were destroyed.

The changing socioeconomic factors also impacted
the political situation in the city. The Indian National
Congress had been fragmenting, leading to tensions
between its factions: the Congress eventually split
into Congress (O) and Congress (I) in 1969.At the
same time, the Hindu nationalist
organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
had established local strongholds in the eastern parts
of the city.
