The point is this - I want facts to be represented in the entry.
1) Muslims firebombed a train.
2) This triggered off riots.
3) Both Muslims and Hindus died in the ensuing riots with Muslim
casualties outnumbering the Hindu casualties.

Ok on 2 and 3, but 1 is just not factually established. Additionally I
think the article needs to mention the ambient political athmosphere that
produced 2 and 3 (regardless of the cause of 1). Adequately describing that
athmosphere involves discussion of the Hindu Nationalist government of
Gujurat and the climate of polarization which exists.
