Abstract
This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the social, economic, and psychological consequences of the incident, contributing to broader discussions on community resilience, recovery, and the role of institutional support in post-conflict settings. Religious acts of vandalism in Pakistan exceed simple property damage because they expose existing social divisions within the country. Identity-based hostility demonstrates itself through the destruction of religious scriptures and places of worship, as well as the damage to religious symbols. The research design employs systematic sampling (n=48) based on Cochran’s formula to study the effects of mob attacks on the community. The numerical data for violence-related damages and psychosocial effects stemmed from structured surveys (α>0.80). Bivariate/correlation analyses identified variable relationships. This study's multiple regression analysis identified unemployment as the strongest predictor of community relationship deterioration post-religious vandalism, correlating with stress. Gender showed marginal significance. To enhance community resilience, job creation programs and economic support for vulnerable groups may be prioritized by the responsible state bodies.
