Godhra: A Story That Began Long Before 2002

For the last two or three days, Sonia Gandhi's book Belonging: A Journey of Love and the Godhra train burning incident have been in the news again.

This made me curious to know more about Godhra's past.

I started reading old newspaper reports, biographies and official inquiry documents. What I found was a story that goes back several decades.

Some names appeared again and again. Some places caught my attention. And one story took me from the 1970s all the way to 2017.

Let's go through it, one chapter at a time.

Chapter 1: Narendra Modi's Early Years in Godhra

Let us go back to around 1970.

Narendra Modi was then a young RSS pracharak. According to a report by https://t.co/LCEC6UFdT8 published on 30 April 2014, he spent around ten years in Godhra.

The report describes him as someone who spent a decade in the town's Rani Masjid as a young RSS pracharak.

It also says:

"Modi belongs to the Ghanchi community."

The report explains that the Ghanchi community includes both Hindus and Muslims.

Another report by The Times of India says Modi stayed in Kajiwad, opposite a small laundry run by a man named Chand.

Two reports. Two locations that would appear again in this story.

Chapter 2: The Washerman Who Knew Modi

During his years in Godhra, Modi used the services of a local washerman.

The Times of India report identifies him as Chand Abdul Salam Dhobi. The Indian Express refers to him as Chand Mohammad Dhobi. NDTV calls him Chandbhai Dhobi.

According to The Times of India, Chand ran a small laundry called Yadgaar Laundry in Kajiwad.

The report says:

"He used to iron Modi's clothes when Modi stayed in Godhra in 1970s."

It was a simple connection between a local washerman and a young RSS worker.

But this name would return to the news many years later.

Chapter 3: The US Visit in July 1993

Now comes another interesting part of the story.

In July 1993, Narendra Modi visited the United States under a programme organised by the American Council of Young Political Leaders, known as ACYPL, with support from the US State Department.

The programme took place from 10 to 23 July 1993.

ACYPL brings emerging political leaders from different countries to the United States. They meet politicians, government officials and other important people.

Its website also lists Narendra Modi among its Indian alumni who travelled to the US in 1993.

The organisation describes its purpose as giving emerging leaders "a global perspective".

Such programmes also help the United States build long term relationships with future political leaders around the world.

Some may see this as a way for America to develop contacts with people who could become influential in their own countries and whose relationships may later serve American interests.

However, there is no proof that participants are trained to work for the US or are made answerable to it.

Still, this visit is another important date in the timeline.

Chapter 4: 27 February 2002

Nearly nine years later, Godhra became the centre of national attention.

On 27 February 2002, coach S6 of the Sabarmati Express caught fire near Godhra railway station, close to the A Cabin area.

Fifty nine people died.

The incident was followed by large scale communal violence across Gujarat.

The Nanavati Commission's report discusses the location and the events around the train. It records that the train had stopped "near A cabin".

The incident and the violence that followed became one of the most discussed events in India's recent history.

But I wanted to understand the location better. So I looked at the official report and the map.

Chapter 5: Looking at the Map

The Nanavati Commission report describes the railway station, railway yard, boundary wall, A Cabin and a nearby locality called Signal Falia.

It describes Signal Falia as a locality mainly inhabited by Ghanchi Muslims, situated beyond the railway station boundary wall, across a road.

A lot of reviews on Sonia'a memoir are about how human the stories sound (even from conservatives).

In contrast, Sanghis have to try hard to sound human, otherwise the stories you get are of fighting crocs and Nandu not using the washroom for an entire day in BJPs meetings.

Will someone please tell me what this strange burnt-fuel smell in the air is..?? Almost like kerosene or diesel.
I’ve been noticing it for several days now, from early morning and at different times through the day.
Is anyone else smelling this too? Let me know..

Indonesia is such a weird country. Apparently rules there are meant to be followed. To make it worse, they have a functional Supreme Court where Judges ensure laws are enforced even if the person violating it is powerful. They can never become a developed nation by 2047

Claim 1: You give data on the votes polled on the EVM in your index cards.

Our response: In the Index cards, you only share the data of the votes counted on the EVM. But internally, you also prepare a record of the voters who enter the polling stations/booths.

Hate what's being done to these women officers here with every fiber of my being.
@crpfindia this is how you treat your officers?
Modi ji if you are so fond of seeing women dance around you organize a show at Narendra Modi stadium or a welcome in some foreign country..
Why this!!

"Prime Minister whose dog-whistle about identifying Muslims by their clothing has contributed to an increasingly hostile and unsafe environment for Muslims in India.."

How Modi's Hatred for Muslims has destroyed Hindus and India's social fabric needs to be said without ambiguity

[Pawan Khera 🇮🇳 ಪವನ್ ಖೇರಾ @Pawankhera]

Jaisa raja, waisi praja.

A Prime Minister whose dog-whistle about identifying Muslims by their clothing has contributed to an increasingly hostile and unsafe environment for Muslims in India presides over a governance model characterised by:

1️⃣Widespread violence against Muslim citizens, followed by impunity.
At least 54 people were killed in 322 reported hate crimes targeting minorities across India in the first nine months of the year. And we know that only a small fraction of documented hate-related incidents and cases of mob violence result in formal First Information Reports (FIRs), prosecutions or convictions <image 1 attached>

2️⃣The deliberate erasure of Muslim religious sites.
The laboratory for this project is, unsurprisingly, the home state of the Prime Minister and his partner-in-crime, the Home Minister.

In Gujarat's Gir Somnath district, a pattern of systematic erasure of Islamic shrines is unfolding, with reports describing a 'plan to wipe out dargahs'. Several historic shrines, including the Haji Mangrol Dargah, Pir Silar Shah Dargah, Garib Shah Dargah and Jafar Muzaffar Dargah, have been bulldozed in the district. <image 2 attached>

3️⃣The deliberate erasure of Muslim homes.
Governments in BJP-ruled states such as Uttar Pradesh and Assam have institutionalised what has come to be known as Bulldozer Raj, with Muslim homes being demolished, often without due process or meaningful recourse for those affected.

Recently, on November 1, the Assam government carried out a series of demolitions in Alamganj, Dhubri. On Nov 8, Himanta Biswa Sarma posted the following on his X account:

"Just before Diwali, we undertook this Ghar ki Safai in Lakhimpur." <video attached. Pay particular attention to the insensitive background music>

None of this happens in isolation.

❌Modi himself, and other BJP leaders, including Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath, Kapil Mishra, Anurag Thakur, Giriraj Singh, and Nupur Sharma - only to name a few - have repeatedly been associated with hate speech, discriminatory rhetoric or actions targeting Muslims, with NO meaningful accountability.

❌When those at the top act with impunity, the system beneath them works, predictably, to Muslims’ disadvantage. There is little reason to expect a leadership that keeps feeding this hate machine will ever treat Muslims as equal citizens.

🔔That is why it matters who occupies the highest office in the country. India needs a Prime Minister who believes in equal citizenship, irrespective of religion, caste, tribe, gender or economic status.

And Modi is not that person.

Is even a personal invitation to Shri @RahulGandhi ji enough to trigger social media restrictions in India now?
@Meta @finkd, please explain why a simple photograph is being restricted.
Is this what digital democracy has come to under Modi ji? Who decides what Indians can post?

This is the Keralam I know, love, and believe in.

Razak and Sulaiman were not born to Kalyani Amma of Muttam, Chitragiri, Wayanad. Yet, for nearly five decades, they loved and cared for her just like their own mother. When the time came to bid her farewell, these two brothers fulfilled the 85 year old’s final wish with the deep love and dignity of her own sons.

Here, a mother’s love does not check religion. A son’s duty does not ask about caste. And grief, like love, belongs to all of us equally.

To me, this is what makes Keralam special. A land where love knows no religion, compassion knows no caste, and humanity brings us together. A truly heartwarming sight.

We are all one. Let this grand spirit of Keralam inspire the whole of India.
