Mar 1 2022 This year marks 75 years since India won freedom. It also marks 60 years since the short, sharp war we fought with China; which means 60 years since we started incarcerating 3000 Chinese-Indians in a prison camp in Deoli, Rajasthan.
As you probably know, Joy Ma and I co-authored "The Deoliwallahs", a book telling that barely-known history through the stories of some of the internees and the political and military backdrop to it all. Joy herself was born in the camp in 1963 and spent her first four years there. We plan a series of events around the book this year, to mark both those anniversaries. Join us for the next one, via the University of Pennsylvania. Tomorrow March 2, 830pm India, 7am California, 10am EST, 3pm UK, 4pm CET.
