The Caravan has obtained a copy of an inquiry conducted by the government of the United Kingdom into the 2002 Gujarat violence, which was cited in a recent BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, titled India: The Modi Question. The report states that the violence was "pre-planned, possibly months ago" by Vishva Hindu Parishad, a Hindu nationalist organisation. The report notes: "The attack on the train at Godhra on 27 February provided the pretext. If it had not occurred, another one would have been found."
