WSN Network

Berkeley: Sikh Students Association and Jakara group will be organizing a talk on women's role during the 1984 occurences in India. Speakers will be Cynthia Mahmood, Navkiran Khalra and  Jasmine Mahrava from Ensaaf.

The meeting to be held on campus on November 21, Saturday, will be open to Berkeley students and also to the Sikh community. Exact time and locations will be notified soon.

Navkiran Khalra is the daughter of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra who was kidnapped, tortured, and killed by the police in 1995 for questioning the disappreances of thousands of Sikhs during and after 1984.
