Major Communal Riots — Legal Reforms

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
44th Amendment	1978	Removed the right to property as a fundamental right, which had implications for compensation to riot victims and rehabilitation measures. The amendment made property a constitutional right under Article 300A but not a fundamental right.	This change affected the legal framework for providing compensation to communal riot victims, as property rights could no longer be enforced through Article 32 but required ordinary legal remedies.
