Les violences entre hindous et musulmans au Gujarat (Inde) en 2002 : émeutes d'État, pogromes et réaction antijihadiste

Christophe Jaffrelot — Violence between Hindus and Moslems in Gujarati (Inda) in 2002 : State riots, pogroms and anti-jihad reactions Riots between Hindus and Moslems increasingly hinge on political determinants. The violence of 2002 in Gujarati is however unique, due to the level of implication of political actors and to the government of that particular State. Such a political instrumentation has been facilitated by Islamic attacks organised in India since december 2001, thus fuelling a desire for reprisals within the Hindu majority. The propaganda of the nationalist Hindu movement has also created conditions that unleash violence even among the aborigine populations, due to the thickening of militant networks of the movement in the current years.Jaffrelot.
