Statistics say that Hindus account for more than half the number of sufferers of communal strife. This means their "victimization" is a reality. But the question is, who victimizes them? Religious minorities? Hindutva groups?
According to a statement by the home ministry tabled in parliament, at least 255 communal incidents were recorded in the country between Jan 1 and April 30 this year. These left 31 people dead - of which 18 were Hindu and 13 Muslim. Besides, of the 666 injured, 370 were Hindu (55.5 percent), 245 Muslim (36.7 percent), 36 Christians (5.4 percent) and 15 were from other religions.
