STATISTICS OF ANTI-MUSLIM VIOLENCE IN INDIA
Data for 1954 - 1985 are taken from the records of the Home Ministry of India. Later data are compiled by the California based India Research Center.
Muslim organizations, national media, and several human rights organizations have always disputed official figures. They say the number of persons killed in these riots is much higher than the figures reported by the government.
