Final Solution a 2004 Indian documentary film directed by Rakesh Sharma, concerning the 2002 Gujarat violence in the state of Gujarat in which 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims were killed. Hindu right-wing organizations and mobs perpetrated the anti-Muslim violence, which occurred after the deaths of 70 Hindu pilgrims in the Godhra train burning on 27 February 2002. But as the film proceeds with victims continuing to come forward and share their experiences, a more unsettling possibility seems to emerge-that far from being a spontaneous expression of outrage, the makers of the film claim that the violence had been carefully coordinated and planned.
An official estimate states that 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims were killed during the violence, with 223 more missing and rendering more than 100,000 Muslims refugees. The documentary consists mostly of interviews with both Muslims and Hindus, of multiple generations and both sexes, with different views regarding the causes, justifications, and the actual events of the violence that occurred, as well as their prospects for the future.
