"This film is set in the post-Godhra violence which was unleashed in

One and half years have elapsed since the Gujarat riots. The Narendra Modi govt won by an overwhelming majority. Despite a destructive cyclone and a tormentuous earthquake and a spate of floods and famine, Gujarat has still managed to emerge as one of the fastest progressing states in India.

Investors are rushing to gujarat. Hundreds of different welfare schemes have been launched. Pipeline water projects, of a very ambitious nature, has been initiated In Gujarat.

And still, these "seculars" keep screaming about "genocide" and "mayhem" and "Communalism".


May God help them rise from a sunken mentality...
