Abstract: This study was purely exploratory in nature. Though it touched upon the causes and remedy of communal riots in India, its main thrust was to understand July 1973 riots in Ahmedabad. In order to meaningfully comprehend the problem of communal conflict, it was viewed from the point of view of the proximity of living of the two religious groups Hindus and Muslims in Ahmedabad. Using open ended schedule 80 respondents were interviewed individually. Results indicate that by and large leadership and administrative set up were pointed out as causes and faith in the members of other community plus efficient police administration as cures of communal problems in India in general and Ahmedabad in particular. Suggestions are also made for the management of communal conflict.
