Cut The Clutter: Understanding Nuh, site of Hindu-Muslim clashes on Delhi doorstep: Haryana’s ‘Meo enclave’

The communal conflict in Haryana’s Nuh this week has left six people dead and sparked arson attacks and vandalism in areas right on national capital Delhi’s doorstep. In Ep 1282 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta offers a profile of Nuh, which is an outlier in Haryana in that 80% of its population is Muslim — how its unique demography came to be, its journey from the Mughal era to the Partition to now, and how it fares on crucial socioeconomic indices like education and fertility rate, as well as poverty, and the Tablighi Jamaat connection.
