Final Solution: Rare footage in the award winning documentary on Godhra riots (Watch Video)
Almost 2000 people were rumoured to have been displaced after the Godhra riots.
The Godhra riots and the aftermath of what transpired in Gujarat still lingers fresh in everyone’s memory. Over 2000 people, mostly Muslims were massacred and displaced as goon squads went on rampage all across the state. It was seen as a backlash for the death of 58 Hindu pilgrims in the Sabarmati Express. There is still no conformation of who the perpetrators were for that attack. While some say they were Muslims, there is another theory that the incident with the train was orchestrated by the ruling party themselves.
