Delhi Riots in nutshell: Neither Ram nor Allah, anti-nationals won
What's the story
If there was one person who could have controlled the Delhi riots, it was Narendra Modi. Systemic failure No. 1.
If there was one institution which could have acted sooner, it was our courts. Systemic failure No. 2.
But, if there is one cabal which won after 34 innocent people died, it is urban naxals. However misused the term is, they are the true anti-nationals.
Background
Let's first understand who they are
Now, there are two types of anti-national elements: Ones who are being paid to disturb the social fabric of India, and the ones who follow them mindlessly. The first bunch is sinister and smart, the other bunch lives for their validation.
The carefully-crafted scheme by the first group has been working in the background since time immemorial. They wrote your History books, and they talk about upliftment. But their "shop" will close if you are uplifted.
How it starts
Modus operandi: Lie, spread fear, and call yourself 'concerned citizens'
It all starts with the likes of Sharjeel Imam, Swara Bhaskar, RJ Sayema, Anurag Kashyap, Kunal Kamra, Dhruv Rathee et al. They peddle lies, distort facts and spread fear. If they are caught lying, an ALTernate world absolves them.
They will keep quoting each other, and that then becomes "post truth". Their friends in media are happy to give them coverage.
Once there is enough fear in the already-divided society, their work is done.
The next step
Then, they ask 'firang' pseudo-intellectual friends to lie for them
From domestic coverage, they then move to the international arena. You see, they only worry about "2 waqt ki taali".
The pseudo-intellectuals in any part of the world are self-appointed protectors of minorities. So, when John Oliver is asked to call RSS a para-military organization, he is happy to oblige. Research or intelligence is not his strong suit, in any case.
But with that, the lies have been internationalized, and stamped.
That's the key
Most importantly, they always show one side of the story
Once the groundwork is done, the next job at hand is to spread more hatred. This can be achieved by showing burnt religious places, a certain Ravish Kumar saying the wrong name, and a certain Wall Street Journal writing the wrong slogans.
In their rush to create panic, facts don't matter to them, they don't care if that can lead to more violence.

Exhibit No. 4: Slip of tongue
This is my fault, and I apologize for the confusion. It was a slip of the tongue, and it caused unnecessary doubt.

Do you know?
Finally, they rewrite history, because, well, they can
Finally, the last bit of their job is to complete the loop, and write the history the way they want to. Years from now, when the generations read about Delhi Riots 2020, Wikipedia will tell them the tainted history. It will then be quoted in research papers.
The big nexus
If you question them, they all attack you
Now, you will ask, dear reader, why are we letting them be? How are they white-washing everything in front of our eyes?
The answer is simple: they outsmart you and me, and the establishment.
Their enemies are not Hindus, Modi or Trump, their heart doesn't bleed for minorities. They want to break India, and the idea sounds so esoteric that we look like liars.
Conclusion
But, how do you feel sorry for 'inefficient' Modi-Shah duo?
That said, intelligence and critical thinking is a rare commodity. No one understands your layers, either you are a bhakt or a bigot.
And, Delhi is in this condition today because Modi failed, because his Home Minister is inefficient, because they both are busy garnering votes, because he under-estimated the power of urban naxals, because he is so allergic to feedback/criticism that he has no friends.
But, he is not an anti-national.
