Thank you for the link, torryquine. These pictures are most shattering, yet I feel especially on a day like this the fate of those suffering has to be remembered.

Thank you. A cataclysmic event that many outside India have forgotten - or never paid any attention to in the first place.

No CH, history can teach us many, many lessons. Unfortunately too few of us are willing to learn them.
