1991 : Hindu Extremist Militants kill 18 humans of minority community On 12 December 1991, Hindu Extremists Militant organisations called for a bandh (curfew) on 13 December alleging partisan behaviour of the Government of India.
The next day, Hindu Extremist Militants roamed the streets of Bangalore carrying sticks, shouting slogans, beating up laborers of ethnic minority communities. Businesses, movie theatres and even vehicles on minority communities were targeted. Soon the riots spread to the Mysore district and other parts of southern Karnataka. Ethnic minority communities were driven out and their property confiscated. A curfew of one week was declared under section 144. The arson and killing had a deep psychological effect in the minds of the victims that over two lakh individuals of various ethnic minority communities moved out of the state within a month. 18 humans were killed in the violence, all of dark skinned ethnic minority communities. The justification of the murder was (1) water crisis in the state, (2) the dark skinned ethnic minority community did not speak the regional language.

2016 : Hindu Extremist Media-mafia justify instigating violence
15 Sept 2016 : Sugata Raji, editorial directory of the Asianet group (owned by Bharatiya Janata Party leader, Rajeev Chandrasekhar) claimed to be embarrassed as TV channels became provocateurs of violence instead of disseminating information. However at the same time, Media-Mafia owned by Hindu Extremist forces claimed innocence, saying that they were not entirely to be blamed. Extremist-Hindu-Media claimed Atheist-Media-Mafia started to instigate mob violence, so Extremist-Hindu-Media was justified in doing the same.
2018 : 3 decades - no justice to families of the murdered Even 27 years later, no justice was delivered to the victims. Mobocracy took over democracy, with silent assassinations.
2018 : 3 decades - no solution to water crisis problem of the state which was used to justify violence The issue at hand was of water crisis. The violence did not solve the water issue.
Assassins silently occupy land and property of the ones they killed The violence only aided the individual extremists to capture the land and property of the ones they killed or displaced.
