• How to reach people

    “At that time, newspaper vendors weren't there either. The entire city was in a strange state. Though papers were being published, who would distribute them? So we knew that whatever we were covering might not reach the people, but it was so important that we always thought we had to cover it. At least later people would see it, and hopefully, people would be a little more sensitive and stop this horrible, horrible rioting.”

  • Effort to turn history around

    “...there's been this whispering campaign, an effort to turn history around. Because what happened was that there were these riots in December and January 1992-93 and in March 1993, there were bomb blasts. The people who set off those bombs said they were in retaliation for the riots which is, I think, completely repulsive to hear. But there have been people who have turned that around and try to say that the riots actually happened after the bomb blast. And are, you know, an understandable reaction to the blast.”

    Dilip D'Souza, Journalist, Mumbai
