Posted on May 22, 2008 - Filed Under 01 - The Godhra Carnage | 42 Comments
We have seen the bloody communal history of the town. Now let us see the exact horrid, lurid details of the massacre of 27th February 2002 with the background.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) had organized a ‘Purnahuti Yagya’ in Ayodhya in February- March 2002. People participating in this ‘Yagya’ had simply participated and gone home. They did not stay in Ayodhya until 15th March 2002 for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya at the undisputed site.
People from all parts of the country went to Ayodhya, participated in this event i.e. the Purnahuti Yagya and returned home from mid-February to 27th February 2002.
A trainload of such people called ‘Karsevaks’ or ‘Ramsevaks’ were returning to Ahmedabad in Gujarat from Ayodhya after participating in the Purnahuti Yagya. Whether they were all members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad or just ordinary people supporting the VHP’s stance on Ram temple is not known.
The train, the Sabarmati Express was supposed to reach Ahmedabad early in the morning. It was running 4 hours late. (Source: India Today weekly, dated 11 March 2002)
Shortly after the train left the Godhra railway station at 7: 47 AM, a mob of 2,000 people stopped it. The mob was armed with petrol bombs, acid bombs and swords. The attackers poured petrol into the compartment and then it afire. Two thousand people were standing on all sides of the compartment to prevent the karsevaks from running away and saving their lives from the fire. The karsevaks were literally caught between devil and the deep sea. There was fire inside and armed Muslims outside. The karsevaks were burnt to death in a most horrifying manner. Many of the charred bodies were beyond recognition. The victims included 14 children, including a couple of siblings and also a couple of old women of above 65. They were all done to death in a most brutal manner.
I wasn’t ready to comment on this site but now i can say that at least you’ve started towards progress.My main aim isn’t to give any clarification about my religion but only thing which i want to say is that young generation isn’t in right direction.
So all the commentators on this site please beware about activities of your children as i’m in touch with recent studies posted by many researchers that young childrren are more prone to DRUGS.This problem is more common nowadays DO YOU KNOW WHY? according to my studies & observation i think parents aren’t taking proper care of their children.
Another important thing which i want to say is DRUGS ARE USED FOR TARGETTING GROWTH OF ANY NATION.
SO EVERYBODY BEWARE TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN ,THEY ARE THE ASSETS OF OUR NATION IF GUIDED PROPERLY.
I’m writing these things just in order to tell you that ,really we all are wasting our precious time in these useless debates including me.
I didn’t want to post any comment on this site but comments of people like Mr.Roy compelled me to do so.
he himself is in wrong direction n also misguiding others.
REST IS UPON YOU,DECIDE YOURSELF,WHAT DO YOU WANT, A DEVELOPED NATION WITH BRILLIANT N ETHICAL PEOPLE OR A DIVIDED NATION UNDER RULERS AS IT HAPPENED BEFORE INDEPENDENCE.
lets hate the sin not the person.pointing fingers wont help.what this creates is as arshia is saying that more ppl will develop wrong feelings towards muslims.please stop this..its a request
v al r human 1st.so b human 1st and live peaceful life
Mr. Deep i think u r still sleeping.You all are simply going in wrong directions.Remember the poison you are filling in young minds of your own children can be very harmful for your own nation.
This is my message to all the Indian brothers n sisters i know that till my last breath i’ll keep on telling you the facts n you’ll keep on praising yorself,you’ll go on saying that muslims are TERRORISTS.
It’s ok now we should come to the topic of growth of our nation if we all will go on discussing these issues then it’ll be useless for everyone.What do you think that this site isn’t viewed by foes of our nation if you’ll go on fighting like this then nothing would come out. So please stop this nuisance n go in right direction do something constructive.
THIS IS MY LAST COMMENT N NOW I WON’T POST ANY COMMENT ON THIS SITE NOW,IT IS QUITE TIRESOME PROCESS.I CAN’T EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO YOU ALL.GOD SAVES INDIA FROM EVILDOERS.MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU ALL.

Hi! Miss Saruchi i think you’re fond of speaking but not reading.If you’re interested in guiding us like this then first do read each & every statement properly.Go through the statements posted by mr.Roy,he has used bad language for our prophet,i didn’t say anything because it is against our religion.So go & tell them to stop these things.I’ve written that statement because mr. Rishi sapra is spreading communal hatred.
SO DO READ MY STATEMENT AGAIN”DON’T WASH WOUNDS WITH BLOOD” if you’re fond of speaking then learn to read between lines & please for heaven’s don’t write without reading.SO “AAP JAAGO”
Hi Arshia and Raj
just want to say few popular lines “Majhab nahin sikhata apas main ber rakhna” “Religion never tells to fight with each other.”
In the day end, who is suffering are those people who fight daily for thier livelihood. They are humnas not hindu, muslim, sikh or christ. They want to go home to there family after a daily chore. they are good to neighbor and its fo no concern to them about their neighbor religion he loves them.
So all the hat redness, massacres, riots jihad are political agendas.
Both of u give me an answer till date in such killings why a leader, MP is not killed? Why always a poor, humble, honest and God-forbidden person is killed.
Abhi bhi nahin jagey toh kabhi nahin jagoge.. So open ur eyes and see the fact.
everyone wants to live in peace.
I wanted to reply but couldn’t because of some problem people like you are responsible for division of our country.
Your comments are full of dirt.Your comments are the filthiest one or i can say that you are following jingoistic patriotism which is a menal disease & it is responsible for the division of our country.
At each & every point you spread hatred & then you say JAI HIND as if you are the only patriotic person in this country.First of all go through your dirty comments & then dare to comment on any issue.
Mr. Raj & many others like you need not worry,one thing is there which we all must keep in our minds that ‘one shouldn’t wash wounds with blood’(quoted by maulana Room) he was a very famous scholar,he followed Islam in true manner. It is shameful for Islam that nowadays it is confronting people like Lashkar-e-taiba.
There are still many muslims who are tolerating these kinds of carnages & they must tolerate.
We all know that it is the result of politics.
