'Scarred' is an intense, moving narrative of the aftermath of the communal violence in Gujarat 2002, which etched deep faults in Gujarat's social landscape. It looks at both the larger as well as the closer picture to understand what happened in Gandhi's Gujarat. 

  "Beautiful... Scarred is not dark, it is one assured step inside the darkness, to explore the light... It's straight-forward, honest to the core, a reporter's authentic notebook on the scars that have refused to heal."
