Creating Spaces for Dialogue, Justice and Reconciliation

This Roundtable held in New Delhi in July 2007 was host to over sixty practitioners, academics, intellectuals, and civil society leaders working in a variety of areas related to the issues of justice and reconciliation in Gujarat.

The Roundtable used Harsh Mander’s work as a focal point from which to begin discussion on important facets of justice and reconciliation in Gujarat. Participants at the roundtable highlighted several issues including the significance of the political context of communalism in India, the experiences of people living and working in Gujarat, the situation of Muslim women in Gujarat, the pattern of violence and the bias in school textbooks. The discussion focusing also on powerful personal stories was moving, and insightful. Above all it brought home the complexities of the situation in Gujarat.
