2017 Northern India riots

The 2017 Northern India riots refer to a series of violent outbreaks that occurred in various states, primarily in northern India, in response to socio-political tensions exacerbated by communal and caste-related issues. The unrest, which erupted in several regions including Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, was marked by clashes between different community groups, resulting in significant property damage, injuries, and loss of life. The riots were catalyzed by a combination of local grievances, inflammatory political rhetoric, and long-standing inter-community divisions. Government interventions involved curfews, internet shutdowns, and deployment of security forces. The events highlighted ongoing challenges related to communal harmony and social cohesion in India.
