The entire happenings in Godhra-How the massacre occurred
Posted on May 22, 2008 - Filed Under 01 - The Godhra Carnage | 75 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. Teesta Setalvad, who is a massive liar having done many crimes like tutoring witnesses to give fake evidence in false cases, exaggeration and blatant lying, said on that day: “While I condemn today’s gruesome attack, you cannot pick up an incident in isolation. Let us not forget the provocation. These people were not going for a benign assembly. They were indulging in blatant and unlawful mobilization to build a temple and deliberately provoke the Muslims in India.” This was absolutely wrong. The people were not at all doing anything illegal or unlawful. They had every right to visit Ayodhya, take part in the Purnahuti Yagya, and return home. They were not forcibly occupying the disputed land, or forcibly trying to build Ram temple at the disputed land, or for that matter, at the undisputed land. They were not going to Ayodhya, but returning from Ayodhya simply after participating in the Yagna and having done nothing wrong in Ayodhya. Also, the demand for Ram temple construction was at the undisputed land, not the disputed land where the disputed structure called as Babri Masjid stood. The undisputed land was owned by VHP and affiliates, and they have every right to do whatever they wanted there. The Supreme Court also gave a verdict in 1994 saying that the undisputed land can be returned to the rightful owners.
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.
Some more details are given in the book which are not on this website.

mr raman, the pune blast and 13\7 blast r handy work of cons. as per guidelines, all terorr investigations are directly handed over to NIA, but both these investigations are not handed over to NIA, u know why! kalyan congi was earlier arrested in pune blast case, but later released by police. faiz was neutralized in jail before he opens his mouth. hum log alibaug se nahin aaye hain. sab samazhte hain! ‘badi brave hain police par slave hain police, tera this that that tera that this this,tere zhoote armaantere zhoote farmaan,kamjori lekin na rahegi har baar,jaayenge, jaayenge, jaayenge bari bariaapki seva mein janhit mein jaari.thaay thaay thaay, tune dhoonda rasta.thaay thaay thaayjo bhi mila sasta.thaay thaay thaaytere lal batti.thaay thaay thaay thaay…na na na na na….

@Indian yes the same thing is happenning and please read the history of india your so called Islam has forced so many hindus to turn into muslims. As I believe more than 50 % of muslims are turned hindus. But due to the extreamist thinking they hv become so cruel. but we just cant let them do whatever they plan.if they will start any such thing in future gujraat was a samples of opposing their acts.Every matter is not for police some matters like this are required to be solved publicly. And when you will read history as gujraat is also a history today you will find that gujrat was nothing in camparison of what damage islaam has done in this country and people of this country deserves all the rights to save their men
