The Sabarmati Express Tragedy
Background:
On February 27, 2002, the Sabarmati Express, carrying Hindu pilgrims returning from Ayodhya, was attacked by a mob near the village of Godhra in Gujarat, India. The attack resulted in the deaths of 59 people, including 58 pilgrims and one police constable.
The incident triggered widespread communal violence across Gujarat, resulting in the deaths of over 1,000 people, primarily Muslims. The violence has been described as one of the worst examples of communal violence in India's history.
The Sabarmati Report
In the aftermath of the tragedy, the Indian government appointed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the incident. The SIT's report, known as the Sabarmati Report, concluded that the attack was a pre-planned conspiracy involving members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), a Hindu nationalist organization.
The report also found that the Gujarat police had failed to adequately protect the pilgrims and had colluded with the rioters. However, the report was criticized by some for allegedly exonerating the state government of involvement in the violence.
