While capturing the predicament of the Sabarmati Express
survivors, Scarred is an intense, moving portrait of
refugees whose lives have been changed forever by the violence
that followed. It tells the story of people fighting for justice
amidst fear and turmoil, unable to return home. It is also an
insightful look into the minds of the perpetrators of this
violence, and the world they seek to construct—a world where the
ghettoization and socio-economic boycott of Muslims have become
the norm.
What exactly happened in Gujarat in February 2002? Why did the
country’s political leaders fiddle while Gandhi’s Gujarat
burned? In this honest and thought-provoking book, Dionne Bunsha
tries to answer these and many of the questions that we are
still left with.
