Nussbaum surveys both the Gujarat state government's official casualty count and the higher independent estimate produced by the Concerned Citizens Tribunal, an inquiry convened by retired judges and civil society figures, and situates the violence within the longer history of the Hindu nationalist movement she traces through the rest of the book.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsSourcesClaims Backed By This Source (25 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedMartha C.
