That in Godhra the then Modi govt failed miserably is not in doubt at all . But that it failed intentionally is yet to be established . Even after bbc report part 1.
Any reaction to the gory incident in which 60 innocents were burned to death inside locked train compartments can't be a normal one. The 3 day barabarity that followrd too was not normal . But that it was planned and not natural is a little difficult to believe.
Whether the govt could have controlled the riot in less than 3 days is an open question. The govt sat back in perplexion may be true too.
But enough evidence is still not in public domain to believe that the government abetted it .
Climate of impunity theory probably stands too. But that the impunity was specifically granted by the govt need not be true . Impunity of this sort is usually assumed by a rioting mob . It was evident in the violence against Sikhs after Indira Gandhi murder .
That the detractors were brutally silenced appears fact too. Deplorable vengeance by a govt , no doubt . But not enough for a foreign outfit to sit on judgement after 20 long years. Because India has every right to reciprocate . And no govt may take it easy .
The most important thing is that the documentary , atleast part 1 , is not exactly objective. Emotions are intentionally amplified and that seems to benefit certain groups.
Just appreciate that BBC extended the freedom of the press a little too far . And enjoy the documentary . But don't take it too seriously. Let's not use it to beat the the govt . There are very many other issues , more vital .
