The Mohalla Committees of Mumbai are a civil society initiative for the management of conflict. On December 6, 1992, a Hindu mob destroyed a 400‐year‐old mosque in Ayodhya in North India. Muslims all over India staged protests, and communal riots broke out in various parts of the country, including Mumbai. Not only was there a loss of harmony between Hindus and Muslims in the city, but also a loss of faith by the Muslims in the police. A people‐centered mechanism with the objective of communal harmony, the Mohalla Committees in Mumbai strived to restore peace and to open channels of communication between the police and citizens. Women played a key role in the process of confidence building. This article is a study of the proactive role played by women in continuing the process of reconciliation and peace building
