The massacre in Gujrat was not due to contradiction between Muslims and Hindus, rather it was an act of fascism in lust of power.
Gauhar Raza, a renowned Indian film-maker, scientist and a noted play write stated this while talking to newsmen here on Saturday.
Two documentary films "In Dark Times" and "Evil Stalks The Land" were shown on the movement of fascism in Germany and its influence in India, which led to sad incidents of genocide in Gujrat.
He said the documentaries are study of processes of fascism in India and Germany.
Fascism changes its forms, so geographical boundaries are meaningless for it. However, fascism is cultivating hatred between the majority and minority.
The documentary showed the glimpses of people in Indian Gujrat who died, shops were burnt, women were tortured and disgraced.
Violence on Muslims in Gujrat was part of the documentary, but the significant concept of the film was the spread of fascism in India.
Gauhar Raza came to Pakistan with a message that 'Act now for harmony and democracy'.
