I've been following the recent communal tensions (5 people dead) in Vadodara in regards to the destruction of a dargah (Sufi shrine) via the Press Trust of India (PTI), as we have family in that Gujarati city.
The Pseudo-Secularism blog posted an article Heroic pseudo-secular much ado about nothing by V Sundaram that examines the disproportionate action (500 Central Reserve Police Force and other army and paramilitary units deployed) to quell disturbances and more importantly, send a tough message to Narendra Modi. V Sundaram notes that that communal violence has been endemic in the Ahmedabad-Vadodara belt and predates Modi's tenure as CM.
