1991 Anti-Tamil violence of Karnataka
The 1991 Anti-Tamil violence of Karnataka refers to incidents of mob violence targeting Tamils in the Karnataka state of India. The incidents took place in Southern Karnataka on December 12–13, 1991, mainly in the cities of Bangalore and Mysore. The attacks originated in the demonstrations organised against the orders of the Cauvery Water Tribunal appointed by the Government of India. The violence terrified the Tamil populace of Southern Karnataka forcing hundreds of thousands to flee in a matter of weeks. There were also reports of reprisals against Kannadiga landowners in the border districts of Tamil Nadu. The official statistics given by the Government of Karnataka was that eighteen people had been killed but individual sources give higher numbers.〔Nair, p 259〕
== Background ==
As of 2001, Tamil-speakers formed 3.82% of the total population of Karnataka.〔(Almost 5 million Tamils live outside Tamil Nadu, inside India )〕 Tamil-speaking people are largely found in the districts of Bangalore Urban, Bangalore Rural, Ramanagaram, Mysore, Kolar, Hassan, Mandya and Chamarajanagar in southern Karnataka, Shimoga in central Karnataka and Bellary in northern Karnataka.
Tamil-speakers are, especially, found in large numbers in and around the city of Bangalore. Until 1991, Tamils formed the single largest ethnic group in Bangalore Urban district. The 1991 census, for the first time, recorded a Kannadiga majority ahead of Tamils in the district.〔 While the Bangalore Cantonment area administered directly by the Government of British India prior to its integration with the then Mysore state, had a sizable Tamil-speaking population, they were also found in significantly large numbers in the "pētē" area of the city which was situated within Mysore proper. The migrants occupied extremely diverse positions in the socioeconomic strata and represented every class, caste and community in Tamil Nadu. While there were also many who lived in abject poverty, since the early 19th century, the higher posts in the state administration had been mostly held by Tamil-speakers due to the preferential treatment by the British.〔Nair, pp 259 - 262〕 Gradually, this demographic and bureaucratic domination began to be resented by Kannada people who felt that the immigrant Tamils were snatching away their rightful jobs.〔Nair, p 235〕
