Riots and After in Mumbai is a detailed revisitation of Mumbai's prolonged riots of 1992-1993. It provides a synoptic record of events which focus on the history of communal violence in Bombay city since 1893 and the post-Independence trajectory of clashes between the two communities culminating in the Babri Masjid riots. In December 1992 the cosmopolitan veneer of Bombay was shattered when targeted violence broke out killing over 1000 people and injuring hundreds. This book revisits the survivors of those two months of rioting when the city changed forever in many ways, increasing ghettoisation and creating a chasm of distrust between Hindus and Muslims. How did ordinary men and women cope with death and loss of their loved ones, the destruction of their homes and neighbourhoods? Did the dream city crumble for them in the aftermath of murder and mayhem? With new forewords by Christophe Jaffrelot and Moosa Qureshi, this new edition of the book presents an unvarnished account of the survivors and how some of them continue to fight for justice and their struggle to regain their livelihoods and homes over two decades after the cataclysmic events of that time, often with little help from the state.
