i)
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
Justice Jagmohan Reddy Commission: Communal disturbance in Ahmedabad and other places
of Gujarat in September 1969. There was not only a failure of intelligence and culpable failure to
suppress the outbreak of violence but (also) deliberate attempts to suppress the truth from the
Commission, especially the active participation in the riots of some RSS and Jana Sangh leaders.
ii) Justice DP Madon: Bhiwandi and Jalgaon riots in 1970. "I found that a section of Hindu elements,
particularly the RSS and some PSP men, were bent upon creating mischief. Their idea in
accompanying the procession was not so much to pay respects to the Great Shivaji but to establish
their right and, if possible, to provoke and humiliate Muslims. .
iii) Justice Vithayathil: Tellicherry riots in December 1971. "In Tellicherry the Hindus and Muslims
were living as brothers for centuries. The ‘Mopla riots’ did not affect the cordial relationship that
existed between the two communities in Tellicherry. It was only after the RSS and the Jana Sangh
set up their units and began activities in Tellicherry that there came a change in the situation.
iv) Justice Jitender Narayan: Jamshedpur riots in December 1971. "Sanyukt Bajrang Bali Akhara
Samiti" who systematically distributed pamphlets to heighten communal feelings and had
organisational links with the RSS. A survey had already established that all policemen, havaldars,
home guards etc. were at heart ready to give support to them (Hindu communalist organisations).
v) Justice Venugopal Commission: Kanyakumari riots in 1982. "The RSS adopts a militant and
aggressive attitude and sets itself up as the champion of what it considers to be the rights of
Hindus against minorities. It has taken upon itself to teach the minorities their place and if they are
not willing to learn their place to teach them a lesson. .

b) deepening the fear in the majority community by clever

c) infiltrating into the administration and inducing the

d) training young people of the majority community in the use

e) spreading rumours to widen the communal cleavage and

they are demolishing and destroying the age-old
tradition of mutual love harmony and tolerance. It
is a shame that in the land of Gandhi, Buddha,

name of religion. We need to respect all religions
in equal measure, and not hate others religions.
