This Documentary has caused abit of a stir in India. It's an open secret how the current Right Wing Government (BJP) promoted the deadly Gujrat Riots led by Modi. They're flustered at the attention from Western Press revisiting it again.
>Modi’s term in Gujarat was tarnished by the 2002 Gujarat riots which were triggered when a train carrying Hindu pilgrims was burnt, with 59 people reported dead and the blame cast on Muslims.
>Violence erupted in the days of rioting that followed. Up to 2,000 people - a vast majority of whom consisted of Muslims that were targeted by the Hindu population - were killed, tens of thousands were displaced, and hundreds of mosques and dargahs were destroyed.
>The BJP government of Gujarat drew heavy criticism for its disdain in containing the organised massacre against the Muslim minority.
>Modi’s long debated role in the riots, with some accusing the then-chief minister of holding direct responsibility to the point of effectively endorsing the bloodshed, became the focus of the BBC series’ first episode.
Second episode airs Tuesday January 24th
