What was Godhra incident?
Let us tell you that on the morning of February 27, 2002, Sabarmati Express reached Godhra Railway Station in Gujarat at its scheduled time at around 12:00. This train running between Muzaffarpur in Bihar to Ahmedabad had hundreds of passengers, including a large number of kar sevaks. These kar sevaks were returning from kar seva in Ayodhya. As soon as the train left Godhra, the train was stopped near the outer signal of the station by pulling the chain. After this, a crowd of about 2 thousand people started pelting stones at the train and set fire to four coaches. S-6 coach was badly burnt in the fire and 59 people died. The dead included 27 women and 10 children. 48 passengers were injured in this attack. After the Godhra incident, communal riots broke out in Gujarat. Despite claims by the state government to control the violence within three days, violent clashes continued for several weeks.
