Beginning on August 27 2013, clashes between the Hindu and Muslim communities of Muzaffarnagar district in Uttar Pradesh claimed over 60 lives. Thousands were displaced from their homes and forced to live in refugee camps; there were also reports of widespread rape. The attacks have been described as “the worst violence in UP in recent memory,” with the army, as a result, being deployed in the state for the first time in 20 years.
