SUMMARY:Stories by Dr. Gurnam Brar & Mr. Ali Shan
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Berkeley for a memorable Saturday morning as we learn vicariously from captivating stories shared by Dr. Gurnam Brar and Mr. Ali Shan. This in-person event will transport you back in time to the era of the 1940s\, World War II\, Independence and Partition\, allowing you to hear firsthand accounts of this historic time period. \nABOUT MR. ALI SHAN \nMR. ALI SHAN‘s life story is remarkable and full of unbelievable twists and turns\, which began at a very early age. He was orphaned at the age of 8 during the 1947 Partition. His village was attacked by a mob and he was one of the only survivors of that incident. This is a story of his lifelong quest for healing\, his courage to forgive the attackers and the resilience with which he has conducted his entire life. \nABOUT DR. GURNAM BRAR \nDR. GURNAM BRAR is a retired nuclear physicist from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. His unlikely journey into the world of physics began on a farm in rural Punjab\, India. Born in 1930\, Dr. Brar is witnesses to a time before electricity arrived in his part of rural Punjab\, and much of the village ways operated the same way they had for perhaps 2\,000 years as he notes in his book\, East of Indus\, a captivating biographical account. \n  \n  \n\n\n	Related
