Sadly these incidences will probably become more common due to demographics in India.
This is not about demographics.
Prince Urusov was appointed governor of Bessarabia right after the worst pogrom in Chisinau. At the time, according to his own memoirs, he knew no more about Bessarabia than he knew about New Zealand - probably less. Nor did he know much about the Jews: he may had previously seen one or two in his entire life. Instructing him
en route to his new posting the Interior Minister at the time (von Pleve) mentioned that he would like "less of that liberal Judeophilia". But the minister still mouthed the generalities about law and order: whatever the attitude about the Jews in St. Petersburg, the previous governor still had to be replaced post-pogrom, if only to mollify British newspapers.
Urusov took the minister at his word. So, when the local police an military chiefs reported to him that there were "rumors" about the new pogrom, he gave a very explicit instruction to maintain order and prevent rioting. He recalled later, that the police chief, having received the instructions, expressed visible relief. In all his previous years of service in Bessarabia, the chief had never been clear about what he was supposed to do during a pogrom. As a policeman, his instincts were to prevent disorders, but he had sensed that a pogrom was something that did not much displease his superiors, and had never been certain if punishing the rioters too harshly would be good for his standing with the authorities. An explicit and unambiguous order to prevent rioting made his job clear. To make the long story short, there was no pogrom in Chisinau as long as Urusov was governor.
I am pretty certain, if Mr. Modi were to talk clearly to his police officials, there would be a lot fewer pogroms going on.
