During the Holi festival in 2026, tensions and violent incidents involving Hindu and Muslim communities were reported in parts of India, including Bihar, and in London, UK. In Bihar's Munger district, disputes arose after Holi colours were splashed on Muslim passersby, leading to police intervention. In London’s Harrow area, Muslim youths disrupted a Hindu Holi celebration, resulting in clashes and arrests. Authorities in both countries responded to restore order amid concerns over communal intolerance during religious festivities.
