📅 28 February 2002 📍 India

Coordinated attacks against Muslims began across towns and cities in Gujarat after the Godhra train burning. Human Rights Watch documented killings, displacement and allegations of official participation and complicity. The violence illustrates how the racialization of religious communities can intersect with failures of state protection; allegations about particular officials require case-specific evidence.
