What is a pogrom?
an organized massacre of helpless people
It is a state-backed massacre of helpless people.

Doesn’t have to be state backed, can be backed by a paramilitary group, etc.

The key is its organized and has a power base. Oh, and it’s violent.

Well, at least the State looking away, as is the case in Indian pogroms (eg Gujarat)
