Dear Reader,

On February 27, 2002, a tragic fire engulfed the Sabarmati Express near Godhra, Gujarat, claiming 59 Hindu karsevaks returning from Ayodhya.

The event shook India, yet the survivors’ tales of loss, resilience, and quiet strength remained unspoken, or rather unheard for over two decades—until now.

After a year of dedication, the documentary Forgotten 59: The Untold Godhra Story unveils the raw emotions of the last living witnesses. Unspoken for 22 years, their stories blend pain and pride, as highlighted in Swarajya’s compelling report which you can read here.

This 27/02, let’s pay tribute by listening, sharing, and supporting. Watch the documentary, read the report, and consider a contribution to keep their memory alive.
