#fpexplained: February 27 remains a dark day in India’s history. The nation watched the news of the Godhra train burning in Gujarat 23 years ago with horror and disbelief. The incident not only killed dozens of people but also triggered one of the worst communal riots in the country. The day also reminds us of yet another tragedy that occurred in 1933 when the German parliament building was set on fire. The Nazi leadership further took advantage of the catastrophe, playing on the public’s sentiments to build the groundwork for their dictatorial aspirations. Here’s all that and other important events from the past in our ongoing ‘ History Today’ series by Firstpost Explainers. 🔗 in bio to read full story.
