This account of the aftermath of the Gujarat pogrom in 2002 is a powerful and well-documented indictment of the dark underside of the much-heralded development state of Gujarat. Focusing on the fate and living conditions of the hundreds of thousands displaced by the pogrom, Sanjeevini Badigar Lokhande paints a disturbing picture of systematic neglect, paltry compensations and daily humiliations of displaced Muslims by state officials. Her meticulous research shows that the cruelties of the pogrom was followed by another kind of violence - structural, slow, callous and indifferent. This is a major contribution to the literature on violence, governance and internal displacements across the social sciences.' Thomas Blom Hansen, Stanford University Advance praise: 'This book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the aftermath of violence in Gujarat in 2002. It employs the probing lens of displacement to examine this event and offers a compelling explanation for the events that have led to paradigmatic changes in India in the recent past. An important reading for anyone concerned with structural questions of displacement due to communal violence and the larger issues of human rights in the post-violence context.'
