Indian government has imposed an indefinite curfew in parts of Nagpur city after violent clashes erupted following reports that Holy Quran had been burned during a Hindutva group’s protest demanding removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb.

Nagpur, the headquarters of the RSS, has been a flashpoint for religious tensions in the past. Critics have often accused Modi and his government of failing to act against rising anti-Muslim sentiments and communal clashes.
