What a depressing morning to be writing about South Asians in America. First,
the news about the man who killed his grandson, pregnant daughter, her husband
in a fire outside Chicago [
http://www.sajaforum.org/2008/01/crime-man-accus.html ]. Then comes this piece
of news from the AP, via WISH-TV, about a van full of students from India,
Nepal, Bangladesh:
>>>
State Police say the two Bowling Green State University students killed in
today's van crash in northeastern Indiana were from India and Nepal.
The victims in the early morning crash along the snow-covered Indiana Toll
Road were 26-year-old Apsana Giri (Uhp-sahna Gear-ee) of Katmandu, Nepal, and
25-year-old Sweety Mazumdar (Sweety Mah-zoom-dar) of Calcutta, India.
State Police say the women died when they were ejected from the van as it
overturned and rolled several times along the tollway about 45 miles north of
Fort Wayne.
<<<
Five other students received minor injuries or were not injured.
See the news release from Bowling Green (note how the university names all
seven victims and gives the home towns date of birth of even the surviving
students) and post your comments at
