Smoke billows out of burning cars during ‘Bharat Bandh’ against the alleged dilution of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Act in Muzzaffarnagar on April 2. During this movement, not just were political principles torn apart, it also left an impact upon western Uttar Pradesh. Similarly, a lot of blood was shed after the emergence of Chandrashekhar ‘Ravan’, in western Uttar Pradesh. It is to his credit that even Mayawati came out in support of the Bharat bandh. So, there was retaliatory violence in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan the day after the Bharat bandh.
