India has hundreds of lynchings every year [1]. Unjustified but India is a weak state. Policing is non existent especially in villages and rural areas. In the absence of the Police people take force into their own hands.
Hindus, Dalits, Muslism are all lynched. Selective outrage around the few are great to push the buttons of folks like you or maybe you are part of the problem. I have studied the data on lynchings and this was a media manufactured narrative to get liberal (esp. western) sympathy and eyeballs.
This was very similar to what happened in Godhra and its aftermath. 59 Hindus were lynched. There was no media outrage over it. Even now it is claimed by many as an accident. The riots started. The state was weak, it begged for help from neighboring states but got nothing. Gujarat has seen riots for 100s of years. Some riots lasted months [Wikipedia]. But Modi got blamed for it as if these were the first riots ever.
He ensured there were no riots every in his tenure decade plus long tenure ever. Got no credit for it.
Careers have been made (Rana Ayub) and hundreds of millions of dollars (Teesta) have been raked in over the Gujarat Riots. Rajdeep even apologized for the coverage and all but exonerated Modi:
