“The flames of hatred had died down in Gujarat. The media reported that more than 2000 Muslims were charred by those flames and at least fifty times that number were rendered homeless.

The winners obtained an unprecedented majority in the state election and Mr Narendra Modi was re-elected as the Chief Minister for the third time consecutively.” ReligionSectarianismNarendra ModiGujaratCommunalismGujarat Riots Book:Black Hole Source: Black Hole
