Few survivors have written their stories. That's understandable; it's a horrible, painful chapter and to write is to relive.
Here are a couple of links about some others survivors of Delhi '84. The first, by a young man with cerebral palsy is especially moving to me. Revisiting 1984 by Amrit in the Writing Cave
Here are eighteen short eyewitness
accounts. These are brief, but contain a lot of information. Not for the squeamish.
This story is about a reporter who was a witness to Trilokpuri, a poor section of Delhi inhabited at the time by S 
ikhs, Muslims and Hindus, where some of the worst violence occurred.
This picture of the dog eating the roasted man is from Trilokpuri.
I am adding these gruesome links just as evidence that our stories, while more personally told than most, are not really unusual. I was going to put some more links, but I think this is enough to make my point and, frankly, I've had enough of this for now.
Read and weep.
