UGA Indian students shocked by murder
Fnm Staff MtfWire
Members of the University's Indian Students Association
Wednesday expressed their shock and dismay at the news of
India Prime Minister Gandhi's assassination Tuesday night
Association President Raj Bhandali said he was stunned at
the news reports of Gandhi's assassination, but even more
surprised that the Sikh extremists would act at this time
"It would seem that they would move sooner after the
attack on the Golden Temple (a Sikh holy place) rather than
wait several months to make an attempt on her (Gandhi’s)
life."
Bhandali said he thinks Gandhi's last speech, which some
analysts say oints out that Gandhi expected the attack, may
have been a coincidence.
“She must have known that there were many Sikhs in her
security There have traditionally been many Sikhs in
security "
Bhandali said that, although news footage has shown Sikhs
dancing and rejoicing in New York City and London, the
percentage of Sikh extremists who would see Gandhi's
assassination as an occasion for celebration is small.
“I don't know of any (Sikhs in sympathy with the ex
tremists) in this town," Bhandali said.
The Indian Students Association still plans to hold its India
night in the Dean William Tate Student Center Nov 10, but
Bhandali said they will include a five-or-10 minute
recognition for Gandhi
Planners originally expected more than 500 participants in
India night, a program organized through the University’s
International Programs and services office. Bhandal. said
the assassination may affect attendance, but that most
people who planned to attend will come anyway, and some
may come to get support from the Indian community
The 66-year-old Mrs Gandhi was cut down outside her
home Wednesday morning in a barrage of gunfire by her own
Sikh bodyguards, officials reported One of the two gunmen
was then killed and the other wounded, they said
The mortally wounded prime minister, a Hindu, died five
hours later, setting off a wave of anti-Sikh violence across the
nation
“Return blood with blood!’’ Hindu crowds shouted in New
Delhi, where Sikh shops were set ablaze and Sikh shrine
stoned Hundreds were reported injured Army troops were
reported moving into New Delhi and Calcutta to quell the
rioting.
Extremist members of the minority Sikh religion had
threatened repeatedly to kill the prime minister, especially
