Abstract
The acts of rioting and violence in Delhi earlier this year are pieces of a collapsing domino: the effects of one disastrous action are leading to another and more—just
like one piece of a domino leads to the fall of another—only, we are not sure how far and for how long! Naturally, it is presumed that there was an exterior element (such as a blow or a pat) that has started this line of disintegration. We argue that the acts of hatred and violence in Delhi are the pieces of a domino, set in motion by the exterior element that is voices of hatred.
