As Sun rose over the towns of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Punjab.
It showed desolation and chaos as this is where the seeds of chaos had blossomed into an uncontrollable wildfire.
The air was full with tension as misinformation spread like poison through the veins of these states.
What had begun as protests against the State Reorganization Bill quickly spiraled into violence, fueled by fear, anger, and the cunning manipulation of local leaders.
In a small village near Kanpur, a crowd had gathered at the local temple courtyard.
An influential local leader, Ram Charan Tiwari, stood on a makeshift stage, his voice booming with anger.
His rhetoric was full with fear-mongering and half-truths, designed to incite panic.
"Broth
ers, the government wants to divide us, take away our land, our identity!" Tiwari yelled, waving his arms dramatically.
