In a chronology of major communal incidents in India collated by the Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies, the same states show a much higher number of incidents of communal riots in the period between 1989 and 2003. This period coincides with the rise of fundamentalism in the country, led by the VHPs movement relating to Ayodhya, and the watershed year of 1992 when Babri Masjid was demolished by kar sevaks of various Hindu fundamentalist organizations like the VHP and the Bajrang Dal.
