The 'Gujarat Model' unleashed on Uttar Pradesh: The triumph of communal politics and the erosion of the idea of India Empty The 'Gujarat Model' unleashed on Uttar Pradesh: The triumph of communal politics and the erosion of the idea of India

These divided populations represent the triumph of communal politics, successfully undoing in just one year histories of shared living between Hindus and Muslims over centuries. This is the ‘Gujarat model’ unleashed on Uttar Pradesh, deploying violence and hate to drive out and cleanse entire villages of their erstwhile Muslim residents. These strategies of engineered social hate continue to yield a rich harvest of votes of polarised populations. But new generations of Hindus and Muslims will be raised deprived of friends and neighbours of the ‘other’ community. This will render them much more amenable to communal politics, eroding ultimately the idea of India itself.
