What is 2002 Gujarat Riots: Causes and Impact about?

In February 2002, a train fire in Godhra, Gujarat killed 60 Hindu pilgrims, which Modi declared a terrorist attack by Muslims. In response, riots broke out across Gujarat targeting Muslims. Over 2000 people were killed, mostly Muslims, and 150,000 people were displaced. The violence included mass rapes and mutilations. Scholars generally consider the Gujarat government complicit, as it failed to control the violence and even discriminated against Muslim victims after.
