The 2002 Godhra train tragedy and the Gujarat riots.
The year 2002 is marked as a bloody and controversial chapter in India's post-independence history. On the morning of February 27 of that year, a terrible incident took place at the Godhra railway station—a fire broke out in the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express, killing 59 Kar Sevaks who were returning from Ayodhya. Immediately after this incident, terrible riots spread across the state of Gujarat, in which about 2,000 Muslims were killed, thousands of Muslim women were raped, mosques were destroyed, businesses were ruined, and millions of people were displaced. This riot was not just a communal outrage—behind it was a dazzling political tableau, state silence, and purposeful administrative inaction. The Godhra incident and the subsequent riots are still controversial, questionable, and symbolize the darkest chapter in politics.
