The 2002 communal riots not only drove Muslims into new ghettos all
over the state, they also reduced them to the status of second-class
citizens who do not seem to exist for the government. This is the
finding of a city-based NGO, Janvikas, which conducted a survey on the
status of the minority community in the state after the riots.
The survey has revealed that Muslims are the new outcastes who, more
often than not, are denied basic facilities which are available to
people of other communities.
