    Days after Rajasthan's Jodhpur witnessed communal clashes on Eid, an incident of violence was reported in the Sanganer area of Bhilwara on Wednesday night, prompting authorities to suspend internet services for 24 hours in the city.

    Why does this story matter?

    Rajasthan has been witnessing a spate of incidents of communal violence over the past couple of months--Jodhpur being the most recent on Eid. In April, violence broke out in Karauli after a stone-pelting incident took place at a religious procession on Hindu New Year (April 2). Earlier, a 300-year-old temple was demolished using a bulldozer in Alwar's Ramgarh.
