149' - 2004 - Documentary - Format: 35mm - Dialogue: Urdu, Gujarati, Hindi
"Final Solution" is a study of the politics of hate. Set in Gujarat during the period Feb/March 2002 - July 2003, the film graphically documents the changing face of right-wing politics in India through a study of the 2002 genocide of Moslems in Gujarat. The film documents the Assembly elections held in Gujarat in late 2002 and records in detail the exploitation of the Godhra incident (in which 58 Hindus were burnt alive) by the right-wing propaganda machinery for electoral gains. It studies the situation after the storm and its impact on Hindus and Moslems – ghettoisation in cities and villages, segregation in schools, the call for economic boycott of muslims and continuing acts of violence more than a year after the carnage.
"Final Solution" is anti-hate/ violence as “those who forget history are condemned to relive it”.
