A tribute
to the life and work of the late Ahsan
Jafri,
a former Member
of Parliament, a poet, and a staunch advocate for peace
and communal harmony in Gujarat and India.
On February
28, 2002, Jafri along with 150 other people
who were seeking refuge in his home, including women
and children, were attacked and burnt alive by a mob in
Ahmedabad despite countless phone calls to the police
and officials of the Gujarat State Govt.
