On Thursday, there were altercations between members of the two faiths in Alwar, Rajasthan, as a result of some Muslim students at a government school objecting to Hindu students wearing tilaks on their foreheads.
The altercation took place in Choma village, where the students’ parents also engaged in conflict.
A Class 11 child named Shubham Rajput arrived to the school with a tilak on his forehead, the police said. Some Muslim students attacked and threatened him, and as a result, up to 500 members of both faiths gathered outside the school.
Later, Shubham’s parents filed a first information report (FIR). To stop the conflict between the two communities from worsening, many police officers were stationed in the area.
