Gurugram: Carterpuri’s elderly recall late US ex-president Jimmy Carter

Hindustan Times  

In Carterpuri, a nondescript village in Gurugram, Jimmy Carter’s name resonates faintly with the younger generation. Rajiv Kumar at his garment shop in Gurugram Sector 23A, opposite Carterpuri village, looks at a photograph of former US president Jimmy Carter’s 1978 visit to the area, on Monday. Rajiv Kumar, the 53-year-old shopkeeper, directed her to a display of faded letters marked with “The White House” letterhead and black-and-white photographs of Carter’s visit on January 3, 1978. Late Kartar Singh’s younger brother, Attar Singh, 73, after hearing about Carter’s demise, said he was lost in the memories of the day when he had seen the former president during his visit.
