This book is a critical journalistic investigation into the orchestrated communal violence in Kandhamal district of Orissa. Though attempts have been made to dismiss the orgy of violence let loose by the fundamentalists on hapless Christians as 'Hindu reaction' to the murder of Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati, the author exposes the hollowness of this claim showing how the saffron parivar exploited thet Swami`s murder as an excuse to mount unprecedented and organized attack on a minority community.

“This book is a great initiative in defense of secularism. It has produced a series of documents to go deeper into the malaise of communalism. It is an eye-opener and a wake up call for the nation. It will lead to a new fight against communalism,”     Swami Agnivesh
