\nBy Sulaiman Razvi<\/p>\n

Some Hindus accuse non Hindus of being communal and violent. Claims that only they are peaceful and most tolerant community in the world. Ironically these lines are said by them after hurling couple of abuses at other religions. Let’s have a look at communal violence perpetrated by Hindus. I am not talking about history which tells tale about bloodshed of Jains, Buddhists and indigenous groups in India by Hindus, But this deals with their deeds since Independence of India. It is impossible to post all communal violence as there were total 644 communal incidents in India in 2014<\/a> alone, 789<\/a> communal riots in 2015, 869<\/a> communal riots in 2016 and 723<\/a> communal riots in 2017 as per NCRB, so I will highlight only few cases. There are 6.6% Hindus in UAE, 13.8% in Qatar, 1.6% in Indonesia and 6.3% in Malaysia but in none of these countries we hear that there was a communal clash between Hindus and Muslims. It happens in India alone because Hindus are in majority. Before talking about persecution of minorities by Hindu extremists let’s have a look at intolerance within the Hindu community.
