    After India gained independence from Britain in 1947, violence broke out between Hindus and Muslims as the countries of India and Pakistan were partitioned. Hundreds of thousands died in the ensuing conflict and displacement of populations. Tensions continued in the disputed region of Kashmir and over religious and cultural differences. More recently in India's Assam district, the Hindu nationalist government has carried out strategies of ethnic cleansing against Muslims through legal means like the National Register of Citizens, disenfranchising and deporting over 1.9 million Muslims with the goal of removing Islamic influence from the region. The student group's opinion is that both groups should resolve their differences peacefully through respect and coexistence as seen in other multi-religious societies.

    Ethnic cleansing in India


    Background Information
    This paper attempts to explain the complicated relationship between Hindus and Muslims
    as well as analyze its roots, which date back to before British control. Through this historical
    lens, one can find the prerequisite for conflict and for peace. Then, the analysis shifts to current
    events where some of the previous themes manifest themselves in societal violence. Upon
    completing an analysis of the roots, drivers, and actors within this conflict, the paper then
    suggests potential paths to de-escalate and prevent further violence.

    The conflict between Hindus and Muslims:

    ● After WWII-Britain gives India independence


    ● transition chaotic with Muslims and Hindus turning against each other
    ● 1947 India is partitioned:
    - India- Hindu
    - leader = Gandhi
    - Leader = Jawaharlal Nehru (Indian national congress) - wanted a more modern
    industrial India
    ● Pakistan - Muslim
    - leader = Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Muslim league)
    - Kashmir (western part of sub-continent) - Muslim cause of future conflict
    ● Conflict takes the lives of over 500,000 including Gandhi ( killed in 1948 by a Hindu
    refugee
    ● ANTI-MUSLIM
    ● The two groups were fighting for control over the province of Kasmir
    ● They clashed due to vast differences in religions and cultures
    ● To know who is a superior ethnoreligious group.
    ● Border dispute, Kashmir problem, Water dispute, and terror controversy.
    ● it was only about land, gold, or politics.
    TThe purpose of this research is to
    investigate the origins of civil and human rights violations that are occurring in India’s Assam
    district and have the potential to metastasize throughout all of India. This conflict involves two
    main religions that diverse ethnic groups in India follow. The majority religion that Indians
    follow is Hinduism, and the second largest is Islam. What makes this conflict ethnoreligious is
    that neither Hinduism nor Islam pertains to one ethnic group; rather, they represent ideas that can
    be adopted by any human being who finds them attractive.

    1. When did this event happen? Or if it is still happening, when did it start?

    - In 1947, Hindu nationalists violently attacked Muslims, forming communal violence


    between Hindus and Muslims. and yes until now it's happens

    2. What ethnic group is/was targeted?

    - Islam or the Muslims, are the ones who experienced hardship and oppressive measures.
    The Muslim greater population can face immense persecution as they become more
    clearly defined as “enemies of the State.” Fear of insurrection, sabotage, terrorism, and
    other actions could offer an incentive to remove Muslims from office and further attack
    their communities or detain Muslims in general.

    3. Who is/was the bigger power behind this supposed 'ethnic cleansing'?

    Based on the comparison brief India is ranked 4


    out of 145 while Pakistan is ranked 7 out of 145
    so the bigger power behind this ethnic cleansing
    in India

    4. How was the act of ethnic cleansing carried


    out by this bigger power? Like, what strategies are/were used?
    - The bigger power which is the Hindus carried out ethnic cleansing by heavily relying on
    legal means to depart or cleanse an area of Muslims. Since India is a democratic country,
    it tends to avoid mass murder or ethnic cleansing however, majoritarian tyranny is just as
    destructive. The Hindus become more aggressive and forceful as they attempted to
    pursue a legal path of deporting 1.9 million Muslims in the Assam District by making
    illegal immigration a core issue to win nationalist sentiment and start a rally.
    - Another strategy is using the National Register of Citizens and Citizens Amendment Act
    making the Muslims primarily bear the punitive consequences of exclusion from NRC
    with include statelessness, deportation, or prolonged detention that caused widespread
    protest and civil unrest.

    5. What is your group's general opinion about this situation?


    - Many people get harmed and involved in violence and killings that spread in India.
    Muslim and Hindus have co-existed in one country living their own life before the
    conflict. Muslims considered India as their land and home. Muslims are not invaders their
    purpose is to have a better life and improvements. They have different religions but they
    can live in one country peacefully if they resolve it calmly without violence. An example
    of living peacefully is the Philippines. There are so many Muslims here but we don't have
    a problem with them, even though we have different beliefs, it is because we respect each
    other religion and we just live our lives.
