| On Feb. 27, 2002, a passenger train burns out of control in the Indian city of Godhra. Hindu activists returning from a temple rally in Ayodhya were attacked by a Muslim mob, as their train passed through the state of Gujarat. Fifty-eight people died in the attack, which was reminiscent of train attacks that occurred during the mass migrations following India's 1947 partition. Speaking within hours of the attack, the Hindu nationalist group Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) announced that temple construction would begin as scheduled on March 15. |
