"Deadly Violence Erupts in India Over Mosque Demolition"
The demolition of a mosque and a Muslim seminary in northern India has sparked deadly clashes and an internet shutdown, as Hindu-Muslim tensions continue to escalate. The incident in the hill state of Uttarakhand resulted in conflicting reports of casualties, with officials claiming two deaths and dozens injured, while media reports suggested four fatalities. The violence erupted as officials attempted to raze the structures, which were deemed to be illegally built on public land, leading to clashes between protesters and police. This incident reflects the broader trend of Hindu nationalism under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with the targeting of Muslim sites and communities drawing criticism from opposition leaders.
