"In case you are wondering why the Hindu Muslim conflict in India never ends, listen to the head of India's semi-government Press Council -- Markandey Katju, himself a Hindu, told a seminar that 90% of Indians are idiots who are easily taken for a ride by religious factions -- religious riots are the easiest thing to start in India -- to quote his words: 80% of Hindus and 80% of Muslims are communal -- Wikipedia defines communal as denoting attempts to promote religious stereotypes and stimulate violence between groups such as Hindus and Muslims ." |
Hindu-Muslim War
Religious violence broke out between Hindus and Muslims during September–October 1969, in Gujarat, known as the Gujarat Riots. It was the most deadly Hindu-Muslim violence since the 1947 partition of India. The rioting started after an attack on a Hindu temple in Ahmedabad, but rapidly expanded to major cities and towns of Gujarat. The violence included attacks on Muslim by their Hindu neighbors. The violence continued over a week, then the rioting restarted a month later. Some 660 people were killed (430 Muslims, rest Hindus), 1074 people were injured and over 48,000 lost their property.

"During the Hindu Muslim riots bodies was dumped in this well."

Hypothesize further issues that would occur if the Hindu-Muslim conflicts continue. If the Hindu-Muslim war continues then it would turn India into a wasteland. Proper burials replaced by mass graves, Cremations done in the street, and their land replacing a trash bin were already techniques India had to use during the Partition of Punjab. I also hypothesize that the government would crumble. The silence of the government would cause a spike in civil wars, protests, disputes, etc..

"Air pollution in India is a serious issue with the major sources being fuel wood and biomass burning, fuel adulteration, vehicle emission and traffic congestion."
~Rama Lakishmi
"Trash and garbage is a common sight in urban and rural areas of India. It is a major source of pollution. Indian cities alone generate more than 100 million tons of solid waste a year. Street corners are piled with trash. Public places and sidewalks are despoiled with filth and litter, rivers and canals act as garbage dumps. In part, India's garbage crisis is from rising consumption. India's waste problem also points to a stunning failure of governance."

"India has major water pollution issues. Discharge of untreated sewage is the single most important cause for pollution of surface and ground water in India. There is a large gap between generation and treatment of domestic waste water in India."

"Hindu mobs raged through the state, burning their neighbors alive and raping women. Once the police and authorities was accused of standing back and at times encouraging it."
