After Delhi Violence, Muslims in India Fear What’s Next
德里爆发暴力事件，印度穆斯林人心惶惶
Surrounded by Smoldering houses and burned cars in northeast New Delhi, Mohammed Efaz said he would never return to India’s capital.
新德里东北部，身处大片阴燃的房屋和烧毁的汽车之间的穆罕默德·埃法兹表示，他再也不会回这个印度首都了。
“We will never come back here to live among Hindus,” Efaz told TIME as he loaded his small truck,
“我们再也不会回来和印度教徒生活在一处了，”埃法兹一边往他的小卡车上装行李，一边对《时代》周刊说道。
preparing to flee to his home village after riots in Delhi left at least 47 people, mostly Muslims, dead in late February.
2月下旬，德里发生骚乱，造成至少47人死亡，其中大部分是穆斯林，现下，他正准备返乡避难。
“The divide between Hindus and Muslims is unbridgeable now.”
“印度教徒和穆斯林之间的鸿沟已经弥合不了了。”
MEAN STREETS
苛刻的街道（要求）
Beginning Feb. 23 and lasting several days, the riots were a bloody milestone after six years of Hindu nationalist rule.
爆发于2月23日的骚乱一连持续了数日，堪称印度教民族主义统治六年以来的一个充满血腥的里程碑。
Since winning re-election with a huge majority in May,
去年五月，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪以压倒性优势赢得连任，
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has pushed policies that critics say put Muslims at risk,
此后，他领导的印度人民党(BJP)一直在推行据批评人士称将穆斯林置于了危险境地的政策，
including a controversial citizenship law in December that sparked months of protests.
去年12月推行的一项颇有争议的国籍法便引发了一场持续数月的抗议活动。
The Delhi riots began after a local Hindu-nationalist politician called for Muslim protesters to be cleared from the streets,
引爆德里骚乱的导火索是德里当地一名印度教民族主义政客呼吁将穆斯林抗议者从街道上驱逐出去一事，
but many observers said the febrile climate made violence inevitable.
但多位观察人士表示，真正使暴力事件变得不可避免的是一触即发的社会形势。
MOB RULE
暴徒统治
Some Hindus were also killed,
尽管也有印度教徒死于该暴力事件，
but it quickly emerged that Modi’s BJP and the Delhi police force his government oversees had quietly supported the mobs targeting Muslims;
但真相很快便已浮出水面：莫迪领导的人民党及其政府负责管理的德里警察曾在暗中支持针对穆斯林的暴徒；
rioters chanted slogans, burned buildings and beat Muslims as police reportedly looked on.
据报道，暴徒们高呼口号，焚烧建筑，殴打穆斯林时，警察就在一旁冷眼旁观。
“They have tacit permission, and probably also protection,”
“他们得到了（警察的）默许，可能还得到了（警察的）庇护。”
says Thomas Blom Hansen, a scholar of Hindu nationalism at Stanford University.
斯坦福大学研究印度教民族主义的学者托马斯·布卢姆·汉森说。
Modi condemned the violence three days after it began,
暴力事件爆发三天后，莫迪谴责了这起暴力事件，
but experts say that while the BJP claimed noninvolvement, its rhetoric and policies were responsible.
但专家表示，即便印度人民党声称没有参与其中，其言辞与政策都脱不了干系。
BURNED BRIDGES
毅然决然
Muslims, who make up some 15% of India’s population to Hindus’ 79%, fear not only more violence but also continued government persecution.
穆斯林仅占印度人口的15%左右——印度教徒则占到了79%——他们不仅担心未来还会爆发更多暴力事件，还担心会继续遭到政府的迫害。
Before driving away with his wife and son, Efaz had no doubt who was to blame.
开车带着妻儿离开之前，对于谁是罪魁祸首，埃法兹没有丝毫的怀疑。
“The BJP has won in its battle to paint all Muslims as traitors,” he said.
“为了将所有穆斯林都抹黑成叛徒，印度人民党可谓是用尽了手段，现在，他们赢了，”他说。
“This is what the Hindu nationalists wanted.”
“这不正是印度教民族主义者想要的结果吗？”
