The state of Gujarat has one of the most conflicting histories within India. Despite being the birthplace of the great Mahatma Gandhi, the state, believed to be one of the most economically and socially progressive in all of India, has a horrifying past. Gujarat: The Making Of A Tragedy describes the lowest and most turbulent times that the state faced.
The communal riots that broke out and resulted in the demolition of the Babri Masjid led to wide scale massacres of various religious communities. The year 1984 has been forever etched into the memories of the people of Gujarat as a dark and inhumanly violent time. The large scale communal riots that broke out between the Hindus and the Muslims resulted in death tolls numbering in the hundreds. Gujarat: The Making Of A Tragedy provides a detailed account of the riots and the ensuing chaos and despair in 1984.
Gujarat: The Making Of A Tragedy is meant to be a permanent public archive of the events of the communal riots of 1984, that took place in almost all major cities and towns of Gujarat and even some villages. The book also provides an overview of the circumstances and the reasons that led to the riots. The book reveals the nature of the beast, pertaining to religion, politics and media, and how the victims of this ghastly event are yet to receive justice. The book was published by Penguin India in 2002, and is available in paperback.
Key Features:
The book is a historical review of the horrors of the communal riots in Gujarat.
It brings into perspective, what people are truly capable of when religion and politics overcome even humanity.
The book acts as a reminder to all, demanding society to never forget the depths of depravity that happened in Gujarat.
