Book on 1985 Air India tragedy released in Surrey in Canada

Chandigarh: The Punjabi version of the book Fighting Hatred with Love: Voices of the Air India Victim's Families by Gurpreet Singh was released Saturday afternoon in Surrey in Canada by the Khalsa Diwan Society Vice President Major Singh Sidhu, who lost his sister, a niece and nephew in the tragedy.
Translated by Pawan Gulati and published by India-based Chetna Parkashan, Nafrat Sang Piyar Di Jang is about testimonies of the Air India victims' families who are now engaged in philanthropy and have turned their grief into kindness. Among them are Dr. Chandra Sekhar Sankurathri and Dr. A.V. Anantaraman, who have migrated back to India and are currently running free schools and hospitals for poor and destitute. Both these men lost their wives and children in the Air India bombings that left 331 people dead on June 23, 1985. Dr. Sankurathri has even forgiven those responsible for the crime and decided to move on by helping others.
