The Bombay riots of 1992

4 essential facts about the riots (from - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_riots and the website below):

  1. An estimated 2,000 people were injured that day
  2. 575 Muslims and 275 Hindus died in the riots
  3. They were started as a result of communal tension in the city
  4.  Arson, killing, and the destruction of property occurred in many areas of Bombay
This is also a great website, in my opinion, that explains the riots: http://www.pucl.org/from-archives/Religion-communalism/bombay-riots.htm

Today in class we watched more of Slumdog millionaire. We also discussed the questions we were to answer.
