Notes

1. Larson’s chapter 3 provides a useful and concise (if now perhaps slightly outdated) overview of this period of India’s history.

2. It is worth noting that many Hindus are killed, also, in the context of these large-scale riots. However, the number of Muslim dead generally outpaces that of the Hindus by three or more times.

3. On the Kandhamal riots (though it is now slightly outdated), see Bauman (2010).
