Excerpts
While the criminals demand extortion from members of all communities and murder people for diverse reasons, it is predominantly the Hindus who have suffered in Kairana. It is true that there are cases of Muslims, such as Dr Asifa, leaving Kairana due to extortion demands, but most of these cases have happened in the months after Hukum Singh, the local MP, raised the issue of the exodus of Hindus.
There is a belief amongst many in the area that incidents of rangdari against Muslims were engineered to kill the argument that only Hindus were fleeing.
"A small wound becomes a big wound, spreading to the whole body," observes Sudhir Chaudhary, a journalist who sees a dangerous mix of politics, religion and demography. "Even a minor case cannot be registered against Muslim criminals by the police in Kairana, who work under pressure from the ruling party MLA Nahid Hussain, the patron-in-chief of the local criminals."
If the police were to act against Muslims, a mob will lay siege to the police station. "The problem is that when the community's population becomes big, police come under pressure of Muslim mobs," says Chaudhary, adding that a purely criminal issue becomes a Hindu-Muslim issue in which no action can be taken against Muslims.
Chaudhry notes that extortion was systematically demanded against owners of cinemas and other Hindu businesses over the years and "when a dozen such cases happened, people realised that the town was being emptied of Hindus."
Earlier Hindus and Muslims lived together peacefully for years, so what changed? "The population of Muslims rose," responds Chaudhary.
In the nearby town of Muzaffarnagar, I met a group of doctors. One of them says, "If the police have to arrest a criminal hiding in the Muslim locality of Muzaffarnagar, they cannot do this. If they try to enter the locality, they will need a battalion of cops."

an alarmist article propounding an absurd thesis. Possibly an instance of paid news.
