Meet the Researcher
Dr. Richa Mishra
Head of Department, Digital Humanities • Nirma University
When Dr. Richa Mishra first held Govind Guru's original letters from 1913, she understood - with the quiet certainty of someone standing at the edge of something vast - that she had uncovered one of India's most deliberately silenced histories.
For over a century, the Mangadh massacre had been allowed to fade. Erased from textbooks, entombed in archives, reduced to whispers in the very communities that had bled for it. The world had not forgotten - it had been made to forget.
But forgetting has a weakness: it leaves traces.
Through time of painstaking research, navigating complex archives and faded colonial records, Dr. Richa Mishra followed those traces where few had access to even ask and look - and fewer still had the resolve to keep looking. What she unearthed were not just documents. They were voices. Suppressed for a hundred years, finally given someone worthy of hearing them.
