Abstract: This report is a compilation of detailed accounts of major communal riots and atrocities against Muslims in the United Provinces during the Congress Ministry (1937-1939). It documents specific, violent incidents such as the Dadri fair massacre, the horrific murder of a Muslim family in Goujaitol, the looting of Muslim markets in Sitapur, and attacks in Benares and Zamania. The report systematically accuses the Congress government, local Congress leaders, and the police of complicity, bias, and failure to protect the Muslim minority.

Description: A stark and detailed compilation of reports from the United Provinces, intended as evidence for the Muslim League's case against Congress governance. It chronicles a series of violent outbreaks from 1937 to 1939, emphasizing the themes of economic sabotage (looting of cattle and markets), brutal violence against women and children, and the alleged collusion of state machinery.
