Rajput pride sets Saharanpur ablaze

According to Meerut-based journalist Arvind Shukla, more than the destruction of life and property, these riots instil fear into the minds of the victims. "Residents migrate, leaving behind their home and village. Homes and lands are grabbed or bought for a pittance. Then, this affects the election equations. Wherever election is a tight race, riots become a handy weapon for the Sangh Parivar."
