Abstract: *Riots and After in Mumbai: Chronicles of Truth and Reconciliation* explores the long-term impacts of communal violence in Mumbai, focusing on the Jogeshwari riots and their wider repercussions. Using fieldwork, personal narratives, and historical records, the book traces the roots of religious tensions and how they have shaped urban segregation, displacement, and economic hardship. It highlights how violence transforms city spaces and lives, revealing deep social and political divides. Through themes of justice, memory, and marginalization, the work offers critical insight into the failures of reconciliation and emphasizes the need for truth, dignity, and collective healing in a fractured city.
