This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. This research response may not, under any circumstance, be cited in a decision or any other document. Anyone wishing to use this information may only cite the primary source material contained herein. Questions 1. Are there any reports to indicate that Hindu nationalist groups have targeted any persons for writing, or speaking out about, the Marad Beach affair? 2. How effective is the Kerala police force in terms of providing effective protection to Kerala Muslims who are threatened by Hindus? Is there any information available on the security situation in Kottakkal in particular? 3. What kind of information is required by police in order to take action where a person claims to have been assaulted/threatened? 4. With regard to the possibility of relocation, please identify other areas of relative safety where significant Muslim communities reside. Background to the Marad Beach violence In January 2002 five members of a Muslim fishing community in the Kerala locale of Marad Beach, Kozhikode District, were killed by members of a neighbouring Hindu fishing community. In May 2003 eight members of the Hindu Marad Beach fishing community, and one member of the Muslim community, were killed in a clash which appeared to be a retaliatory attack for the violence of the preceding year.
