“If the government and police can’t manage the Ram Navami procession why did they give permission? Who will pay for our losses?” questioned a teary-eyed Sangeeta Yadav, resident of the Sanjay Nagar area in Khargone, Madhya Pradesh.

Sangeeta’s house is amongst the 26 houses that were burnt in the communal clashes that broke out in Khargone on Sunday evening, 10 April during a Ram Navami procession.
