Does the state promote communal violence for electoral reasons? / Varshney, Ashutosh; Gubler, Joshua R   Journal Article
Varshney, Ashutosh Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract It has often been alleged, most recently in the recommendations of India's National Advisory Council (NAC), that the Indian state promotes, or is complicit in, Hindu-Muslim violence for political or electoral reasons. But the evidence for the claim has historically been sketchy. In StevenWilkinson's work, Votes and Violence, the argument is that the evidence supporting state complicity is systematic.We examine this argument and find it to be fundamentally flawed.

Rioting as maintaining relations: Hindu-Muslim violence and political mediation in Gujarat, India / Berenschot, Ward   Journal Article
Berenschot, Ward Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This article discusses the role that local politicians played during the 2002 Hindu-Muslim violence in Gujarat, India. I argue that the capacity and interests of political actors to instigate and organise communal rioting is closely related to their capacity to provide access to state resources. The cooperation during the riots between politicians and various types of rioters - from local criminals, Hindu-nationalist activists, neighbourhood leaders to police officials - can be understood in the light of the daily functioning of the local patronage networks that help citizens deal with state institutions.
