Not long after Gandhi's quip, though, came the partition of India in

Say what you will about the industrialized nations of the West, but they
have
outbreaks of what India calls "communal violence" rather less often than
India. And today India is governed by the BJP and its leader Narendra
Modi,
who openly favors Hindu supremacy.

We in the USA, have outbreaks of individual violence, attacks on
schools, churches, synagogues and temples.
In 2020 on January 6 we had communal violence.
Before that we had frequent communal violence directed
toward African-Americans and referred to as Lynching 

Don't forget the old-style race riots -- the ones where White rioters
destroyed African-American neighborhoods.

That's why Watts was so shocking -- African-Americans were doing it to
themselves.
