The men behind the iconic Gujarat riot photo meet

Help

More than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, died in the riots that erupted after 60 Hindus were killed in a train fire in India's Gujarat state in 2002.

One photograph, of a man looking on in horror at the violence, became an iconic image of the bloodshed.

The BBC brought the photographer and his subject together for the first time.
