In East Sagarpur, southwest Delhi, a narrow lane has become a widening fault line. On one side of Gali No. 8 sits a largely Muslim-populated jhuggi; on the other, a colony of mostly Hindu homes. Between them lies a small DDA park – and, over 10 days in late June and early July, that park has become the flashpoint for communal unrest that residents say has left the neighbourhood more polarised than before.
The trigger, allegedly, was a flag.
