So far, we have been unsuccessful in our attempts to persuade the governments of India and Pakistan to build a suitable JOINT memorial, at Wagah border-crossing, to ALL the victims of India’s Partition in 1947.
Therefore, this year, as a part of our India-Pakistan Peace Day 2008 campaign, we have set up this virtual memorial.
We are using a blog format to allow an unlimited number of authors to add their contributions.
We invite you to use it to add the names, pictures, and brief stories of victims from your family along with their pre-Partition location, as well as your own name and current location.
If you accept this invitation, please write to ihs@ionet.net with a request to add you to the list of authorized contributors. You will be notified as soon as your name has been added.
Even without becoming a contributing author you can, of course, use the comments feature to add names of victims immediately.
Please direct additional questions, comments, and concerns to the undersigned at asiapeace@comcast.net
Also be sure to visit www.indiapakistanpeace.org to read about India-Pakistan Peace Day celebrations in previous years, and www.asiapeace.org for information about us.
Best wishes,
Members & Directors
