22 Years Later: Survivors Of The Godhra Train Tragedy Break Their Silence

For the first time in 22 years, the survivors and families of victims of the tragic Sabarmati Express burning have broken their silence. On the fateful morning of February 27, 2002, a horrific incident claimed the lives of 58 people, mostly Hindu pilgrims returning from Ayodhya.

These were mostly ordinary Gujaratis—working-class men, women, and children—many from economically weaker sections of society. Their lives were shattered, yet their stories remained untold. While media coverage over the years focused on the larger aftermath of the incident, the voices of those directly affected faded into obscurity. For decades, they were preoccupied with pursuing justice and compensation in courts, leaving little space for their personal narratives to be heard.

This initiative is a mission to honour the memory of the victims and give a voice to those who have long been silenced. However, producing this investigative piece has been no small feat. Months of effort, resources, and financial commitment went into its making.
