I am sorry but I find this highly insulting to the Hindu victims of Muslim fanaticism, the riots were totally one sided and were led by Muslims and thousands of Hindus were killed and thousands more forcible converted and Hindu woman dishonoured and you say "Indians took on each other" as if Hindus also participated in the riots, the riots were so horrifying that Annie Besant herself wrote a letter to Gandhi chastising him for his callous attitude towards Hindus and even Ambedkar condemned them, Gandhi on the other hand praised the Moplah Muslim fanatics as God fearing men and said that there was only one case of forced conversion which was big lie. Here are Ambedkar and Annie Besant in their own words:

It is very easy for people to start saying that he was only human and that he committed mistakes but some of the mistakes he did are unpardonable <b>[edited]</b>, i mean the man was so callous to Hindu and Sikh refugees who after having lost everything had came to Delhi and took shelter in the worthless mosques of muslims and this man went on a fast to make them evacuate the mosques in the middle of winter when it was bitter cold without arranging any alternative shelter for them and eventually he succeeded, how can any sane human being do that?, and his advice to Hindu refugees was that they should all go back to Pakistan and voluntarily die at the hands of their Muslim brothers <b>(edited)</b>
