[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 142719, member: 189"] Brief English Translation of above Editorial in Rozaana Spokesman. ( Gist of Op-Ed) [SIZE=3][B]HONDH-CHILARR EPISODE.....DONT RAISE FALSE HOPES....[/B][/SIZE] The 1984 Genocide was an abject failure and Abdication of Responsibility of the Sikh Leadership.....REVISITING this via Hondh-Chillarr will only serve to REVIVE painful memories. The Starrkly staring ruins of Hondh-Chilarr village in Haryana speak volumes of how the propserous sikh families living there were served a severe blow...this was not an isolated incident..in those dark days of November 1984 amny manysuch incidents happened to sikh communities scaterred all over India- especially around the Delhi Metropolis and various other cities.
