With
the approach of the centenary of the Armenian genocide ever new
incidents and details continue coming to light, these often touching on
unexpected subjects and geographic settings. Last year, in a visit to
Yerevan to take part in the "Strategies of (Un)Silencing" conference,(*)

from his work, "Shared Sorrows: Indians and Armenians in the prison
camps of Ras al-Ain, 1916-1918," and it came as a major revelation to
all of us.(**)
