1980 Moradabad riots
The 1980 Moradabad riots refers to violence that happened in the Indian city of Moradabad during August-November 1980. The violence was partly a Hindu-Muslim conflict, and partly a Muslim-Police conflict. It started when a group of Muslims pelted stones at the local police for their refusal to remove a pig from the local Idgah on 13 August. The police responded with indiscriminate firing, which led to over one hundred deaths. This was followed by a series of violent incidents which became religious in nature, and led to arson, looting and murders.
The violent incidents continued until November 1980. The total death tally is uncertain: the government recognized and paid compensation for 400 deaths, while the unofficial estimates run as high as 2500. The riots greatly affected the city's noted brassware industry, which saw a sharp decline in the production and export figures.
== Background ==
Moradabad has a history of Hindu-Muslim riots; the first such riot occurred in 1848, followed by another one in 1872.〔 In the 1880s, there were more Hindu voters in the city. However, the Muslim secretary of the Municipality always drew the electoral ward boundaries in such a way that Hindus were concentrated in one ward, while the Muslims had the majority in the remaining five wards. As a result, the Muslims always had the majority. Following protests by the Hindus, the ward boundaries were re-drawn and the Hindus gained majority in the municipality. Both the communities used their administrative power to assert their religious interests, leading to communal animosity.〔
In the 1930s, the Muslim League, which demanded a separate country for Muslims, gained popularity in Moradabad. The local leader and lawyer Qazi Taslim Husain turned the Islamic Musafir Khana near the Moradabad railway station into a center for separatist politics in the city. The Hindu organizations Arya Samaj and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) organized ''akhara''s in the city, campaigning against the Muslims. Following the partition of India, widespread riots broke out in the city in January 1948.〔 Again in 1978, Hindu-Muslim violence broke out in Sambhal (then part of the Moradabad district).
