1991
A devastating earthquake rocks Uttar Kashi, killing over 2,000 people. The slowness of relief operations and reconstruction upsets many hill residents, already accustom to the prolonged neglect afforded the region by state and federal governments.

1994
Despite measures in the state legislature towards granting separate status for Uttarakhand, the new backward-caste dominated government of Uttar Pradesh extends caste reservations into the hills. These reservations, though established to increase opportunity and social justice for low-caste people, meets with fierce resistance in Uttarakhand. Uttarakhandis see the measures as an attempt to colonize the hills with people from the plains, as low-caste Hindus make up a tiny fraction of the hill districts' population. Demonstrations are fired upon, leaving dozens dead. On October 2, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, buses carrying protesters to the capital are stopped in the town of Muzaffarnagar. More violence ensues including the molestation and rape of dozens of Uttarakhand women by state police.
