Why Godhra only ? Read the history of RIOTS since 1715-1969
If we take the history of Ahmedabad for last five centuries, the
city was ruled by Muslims and Mughals for about 340 years the rest
by Marathas & The British coming to the incidents of communal riots
during this era of five centuries, the major incidences are:
(1) 1714: Holi Riots: A Hindu
named Hari Ram while celebrating Holi with his friends at his
residence sprinkled ‘Gulal’ a red powder on one muslim, which was
strongly protested by Muslims. A mob got assembled near Jumma
Masjid under the leadership of Sunni Bohra Mulla Abdul Aziz. Afghan
soldiers of the Muslim viceroy also joined the mob seeing the
situation. A Kazi interfered for cooling down the angry mob. But
the mob set on fire the house of this Kazi. The rioteers thereafter
looted the shops of Hindu Mohalla, Shops and set their houses to
fire. The rioters could be controlled only by armed guards of a
Hindu, Kapurchand Bhanshali.
(2) 1715: Another Communal Riot:
The 1715 communal riots were due to looting of shops of Hindus by
Muslim soldiers. The riot came to an end with replacement of Muslim
viceroy Daudkhan.
(3) 1716: Id riots: Consequently
during the third year also, communal disturbances broke out during
id in 1716. Bohra community Muslims gathered cows and buffallows
for id celebration. A Muslim Havaldar just out of pity released one
of such gathered cows. The Muslim protested before the Kazi
Khairullakhan seeing no outcome to their expectation, the Muslims
resorted to riots arson and mass looting of Hindu establishments.
The situation could come to normally with Hindu viceroy Ajitsinh’s
concerted efforts.
(4) 1750: Temple Demolition: 1750
riots by Muslims were provoked simply with an excuse that their
Namaz was being disturbed due to noise of ringing of bell in the
adjoining temple. The Muslims while returning from Masjid after
Namaz, totally destroyed the temple and thus played with the Hindu
sentiments.
(5) 1941: Riots: Communal
disturbances broke out on 18th April 1941. The Muslims diverted to
Muslim legue programmes after incidence of these riots.
(6) 1946: Rath Yatra Riots: 1st
July, 1946, was a Rath Yatra day. Rath Yatra as usual was passing
through Shaher Kotda Police Station Area, on this auspicious day.
There took a hut exchange between a Hindu Akhada man and a Muslim
watching the procession. The incidence turned into breaking out of
communal violence, viz. arson, stone throwing, stabbing etc. There
was also a police firing and curfew was finally imposed, to control
the situation.
(7) 1965: Sikh incidence: The
1965 riots were resulted out of murder of two Shikh Rickshaw
drivers by Muslims. The angrieved Shikhs took out funeral
procession of both these dead bodies. The situation got disturbed
at Delhi Darwaja and got converted into a communal riot soon.
(8) 1969: Historic Communal
Riots: These riots were biggest of its type having taken
lives of about 560 persons. It was 18th Sept. 1969, the last day of
Urs. The violence crept up in the evening time on the ground that
Jagannath Mandir cows going back to temple premises disturbed the
URS. It may be mentioned that movement of cows was a daily routine
irrespective of URS celebration taking place simultaneously. A hot
discussion took place which provoked communal tension with a series
of violent, incidences killing, linking, and soon in various parts
of the city.
