Abstract:
The caste and the religious animosity among the people of India that are being instigated by some with ulterior motive resulted in the loss of many precious lives. The data on such religious violence shows a very annoying. In five year period from 2005 to 2009 in the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Orissa alone contributed 64% of deaths from communal violence in India. Among this violence, the highest rate of death registered in Madhya Pradesh, at 0.14 deaths per lakh people. It has become a formidable challenge for the law makers and implementing agencies to manage the religious fanatism in India.
