FACT-FINDING REPORT ON HALDWANI VIOLENCE OF FEBRUARY 8, 2024 AND ITS AFTERMATH

Violent incident occurred on 8.02.2024 in Banbhulpura, Haldwani. It was not a sudden incident. It was the outcome of a steady rise in communal tempers in the state of Uttarakhand over recent years. The state government led by the Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami and radical right wing citizen groups have together contributed to the spread of a highly polarizing narrative with many disturbing elements. One strand of this discourse is about recreating Uttarakhand as the Holy Land of Hindus which would have no place for other religious minorities. Other strands of this divisive discourse include unsupported extravagant claims of a series of Jihads allegedly waged by the Muslim population of the state, including Love Jihad, Land Jihad, Vyapar Jihad, and Mazaar Jihad.
