Pogrom in Gujarat: Hindu Nationalism and Anti-Muslim Violence in India
"This is an insightful and subtle account, capturing much of a moment which is already being made to be forgotten by new forms of political will and national ambition in Gujarat."--Edward Simpson,Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute"The book makes a number of noteworthy contributions throughout. Foremost among these is its discussion on women, who stand at the center of all deliberations, yet are denied agency."--R. Khan,Asian Affairs"Although there have been many eye-witness accounts of the 2002 pogrom in Gujarat, in the wake of the Godhra train tragedy there has been no book-like treatment of the subject by an academic, who lived and observed the events before, during and after the pogrom.Pogrom in Gujaratfills this void admirably."--V. Venkatesan,Frontline
