Further expansion for Indian migrants

According to the

NSSO and the 2011 Census), the number of inter-state migrants is about 65 million, of which 33 per cent are workers.[2]

Migrant workers are mostly from rural areas but live most of the year in cities for work. Many have no savings and lived in factory dormitories, which were shut due to the lockdown. They have also been treated with either fear or a "class bias" upon their return to their hometowns and villages, being hosed down with disinfectants or soap solution in some cases. They were feared to be carrying coronavirus from the urban areas where they worked.[3] There is, however, no central registry of migrant workers, despite the existence of the Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act, 1979.[4] The Act makes it necessary for the registration of establishments which employ inter-state migrant workers. However, it does not require the registration of the workers themselves.[5] In addition to this, the Supreme Court only recently enforced the registration of workers recently, with the Union Ministry of Labour and Employment's Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS).[6]

Many migrants expressed a fear of returning to their old jobs in the cities, after facing unemployment during the lockdown. With companies reporting labour shortages right from mid-April, with some estimates saying that this would last for at least another six months.[7]

Aftermath (old)

To help spread messages of peace, people in the violence-affected areas formed aman (transl. peace) committees consisting of both Hindu and Muslim members, organising peace rallies and community dialogues to restore harmony.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar visited some riot-affected areas, specifically Brahmapuri, encouraging people to "stand for humanity" and applauding the efforts of those who had helped each other during the riots.[2] Multiple civil society groups also helped the victims of the riots.[3]

Hindu and Muslim neighbourhoods reported to have put up metal gates to slow down the passage of rioters in the future. This was particularly seen in the predominantly Hindu neighbourhood of Brijpuri and the predominantly Hindu neighbourhood of New Mustafabad, which are divided by a sewer, across which rioters hurled stones at the houses.[4]

Muslims reported to have to changed their behaviour towards their neighbours after the riots, adopting Hindu mannerisms (such as greeting with "Namaste" instead of "Salaam" and not using "Assalamualaikum", "Khuda Hafiz" or "Insha'allah" in conversation); changing their style of dress so as to not obviously reflect their religion (not wearing their traditional

posttraumatic stress disorder.[5][6]

Some Hindu leaders conspicuously paraded alleged Hindu victims of Muslim violence in an attempt to reshape the account of events and to further inflame hostility towards Muslims.[7] Gangs of Hindus appeared in several Muslim neighbourhoods in the days preceding the Hindu festival of Holi, celebrated on 11 March 2020, to scare Muslims into abandoning their homes.[8] About 1,000 Muslims have sought shelter in a relief camp on the fringes of Delhi.[9]

Amit Shah's response

During a parliamentary debate over the riots on 11 March, Home Minister Amit Shah gave his condolences to the families of those who died due to the violence and assured them of justice. He commended the Delhi Police for their efforts and stated that according to primary reports, the riots were part of a "pre-planned" conspiracy.[10] Speaking about the ongoing investigation, he stated that facial recognition systems were successfully being used to identify rioters who had come from Uttar Pradesh,[11] going on to mention the use of social media to instigate the riots.[12] In response to questions regarding his absence in riot-affected areas during the riots, he responded that he knowingly stayed away so as to not "divert resources to provide him with security."[13] He assured the Lok Sabha that compensation would be provided to the victims by the rioters themselves, by forcibly confiscating the properties of those identified to be rioters. He went on to reject claims that pro-CAA protestors caused the riots, and cited that North East Delhi was particularly susceptible to riots due to its geographic location, demography, crime levels and previous history of rioting.[10]

For main article

it was observed that during the riots, many upper caste Hindus were among the rioters, displaying their castes on their t-shirts.[1] Further, residents of the riot-affected areas put up saffron marks or flags on their houses to indicate to the rioters that they were Hindus.[2]

On 1 March, slogans of "desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maro saalon ko (shoot the traitors)" were heard during a march to protest communal violence during the riots. The march was from Jantar Mantar to Parliament Street, with Kapil Mishra present in it.[3] The same slogan was heard being shouted that morning at Rajiv Chowk metro station, for which six students were arrested.[4]

Several members of the Hindu right-wing mob had their upper-caste pride on display. Many men among them wore t-shirts that had "Brahman," "Jat" and "Jai Shri Ram" written on them and from my conversation with them I gleaned that many of them belonged to other upper castes such as Rajputs and Baniyas.

Tahir Hussain

On 24 February, former AAP Corporator from Nehru Vihar, Mohammad Tahir Hussain, complained that protestors had forcefully entered his house and damaged his property.[1] He was later accused of helping rioters. Videos of protestors pelting stones from what appears to be the roof of his house were circulated on social media. Another video shows him brandishing a lathi. Media crews reported finding stones and bottles of acid and circulated images of the same at what appears to be his house. The father of the Intelligence Bureau officer, Ankit Sharma, who was found dead in a drain near Hussain's house, further alleged that Hussain and his supporters had murdered Sharma.[2]

However, in an interview Hussain confessed to having protestors break into his house and clarified that he had attempted to use the lathi to drive them away on 24 February. Later that night, the Delhi Police came and upon their instructions, he left his home with his family and alleged that his house was overrun by rioters on 25 February, when the video of rioters on the roof of his house was taken. He also denied having anything to do with the murder of Ankit Sharma.[3]

The situation escalated on the night of 27 February with Ankit Sharma's father registering an FIR against Hussain, resulting in a manhunt to arrest him. AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Arvind Kejriwal both issued statements about punishing anyone causing violence.[4] His membership to the party was also suspended.[5]

The dead body of Ankit Sharma, a Security Assistant working in the Intelligence Bureau, was found in a drain in Jafrabad, a day after he went missing. The circumstances leading to his death are under investigation.
