Dear Sibby, Thanks for the comment. Personal tragedies do linger through generations. Ask any Kashmiri Pundit family who lost a dear one or were uprooted. Any German jewish family would ever forget/forgive the Nazis even after 200 years. I happened to be travelling from Pune to B'lore on Dec 31, 1988, the day the Shiv Sena annual conference ended. I stood the whole night instead of sleeping on my reserved berth. Even months-old babies were displaced by the Sainiks. How would the scores of sikhs who saw their family being dragged out to be butchered forget, even after 200 years? You have got to be superhuman to overcome that kind of feeling and forgive, to forget. In this day and age of individualism, the pangs of hurt and revenge are even intense.
