Economic growth rates increased as policies were liberalised though not as quickly as in China. Urbanization was also very slow compared to that in China. Rate of growth of population and fertility rates decreased. Infant mortality rates saw good rate of decrease. Divisive politics based on caste and religious hatred raised its ugly head with the implementation of Mandal commission report, demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 and the subsequent communal riots. This was also the decade in which Pakistan-sponsored terrorism began to grow first in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and then in the rest of India. Civilian population of urban India became a soft target for the militants.
