Vibrant Gujrat by sneha trivedi from india

Peoject Brief

Current project is about Documenting the victims of 2002 Godhra, Gujrat riots who suffered losses. These losses are of houses and the belongings of Lower middle class people which are the majority, during the Communal dispute.

They were common and innocent people who were victims of Politics and religion.

Irrespective of the culture and religion they follow, they suffered losses which left them homeless and bankrupt. These shelter-less people were left with no option but had to dwell in temporary tents. Till date even after 11 years they are struggling and building up spaces for their family. The murder took place in a huge number.

The Gujarat government claims to have already distributed more than Rs 56 cores as direct cash benefit under the various heads to the riot victims. However, representatives of the victims dispute the government strategies that more than 90 percent of those affected are yet to get anything. Ten percent had received some 'meagre amount'.

Government has been negligible and quite ignorant on this issue who were affected by the carnage.

Through this project I have tried to create an awareness about the condition of the people even after so many years they are waiting for justice and some help from the government.
