Fear and forgiveness :the aftermath of massacre - New Delhi Penguin Books 2009 - xvi, 219p.
On socio-economic conditions of Muslims in Gujarat India after 2002 Gujarat riots.
Written over the past six years, Fear and Forgiveness is not just about the grim events of 2002 in Gujarat, of the state’s lack of accountability and the failure of justice, of the numerous commissions and their reports, of the indiscriminate use of the draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act 2002, of police brutality and the trauma of relief campus. It is about the acts of compassion and courage, of the hundreds who risked their own lives and those of their families and their homes to save innocent men, women and children, and even today help the betrayed and shattered minority heal and rebuild. The book compels us to acknowledge the flaws in our judicial, social and rehabilitative structures while showing that the way forward must be one of sympathy, understanding and forgiveness
