For weeks starting on this day (or actually December 7) 29 years ago, Bombay descended into a maelstrom of vandalism and slaughter. I realize half this country wasn’t even born then, but many of us lived through those horrible weeks. #Bom9293 (1/many. Follow along please.)
And we remember what happened. How it happened. Who was responsible. We remember. We don’t plan to forget. Especially not that it was the mob that demolished the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on December 6 1992 that sparked the violence. #Bom9293
Your fellow Indians slaughtered about 1000 of your fellow Indians then: more than Mar 12 1993, more than 26/11, more than any other bomb blasts in this country. That number is matched only by the Gujarat massacre of 2002, exceeded only by the Delhi massacre of 1984. #Bom9293

For the first time in many months, I went to a theatre to watch a film last night. Also on show was the trailer of "Sooryavanshi", in which a voice rattles off terrorist violence in Bombay over the years. (1/4) #BOM9293
It starts with the March 1993 bomb blasts that killed about 250 of my fellow Indians. It does not so much as mention the homegrown terrorism three months earlier, that killed four times as many fellow Indians. (2/4) #BOM9293
For your part in the effort to wipe that massacre from our minds, Shrimans Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn (and everyone else connected with this film that I will not watch), I offer a reminder: the thread that follows. (3/4) ##BOM9293
