Of UK’s ‘deep regret’ over Jallianwala massacre; as memories of Kaifi live on
Deccan ChronicleThis was a week of commemorations. Poets like Ali Sardar Jafri also lived there — but unfortunately now, like so much else of our heritage it has been erased from memory and that building has been pulled down. This was followed by a panel discussion on it moderated by Lord Meghnad Desai in which the discussants included Esme Ward, the director of the Manchester Museum and Satnam Sanghera, a well-known journalist who has made a film for Channel 4 on Jallianwala Bagh which was shown on the anniversary date.. They are expecting large crowds through the year — especially since this is a story of undivided Punjab — and both Indians and Pakistanis are likely to visit since Manchester is neutral territory. Incidentally, those who visit should also pick up the khadi marigold to wear anytime through the commemoration year — made in memory of the martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh and to honour Mahatma Gandhi whose 150th birth anniversary it is this year.
