Japanese students in city to mark Hiroshima Day
On Wednesday, it will be 63 years since the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima ...
To drive home the notion of non-proliferation and war, 15 students from Japan are hosting a three-day event in Bangalore to observe Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day.
The Japanese students, from different universities in Tokyo, are in the age group of 20-21 years. They represent the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and are presenting the events along with The Bornfree Art School.
The Japanese students said Indian students are well-informed of the bombings and are also keen on learning more. Yuichiro Suzuki of Meiji gaknin University, Tokyo, said: "We are here to share our knowledge about the devastation that nuclear bombs can cause and Indian students are eager to learn about it. We want to impress upon Indian students that humanity comes first and nationalities later."
Ayaka Sugiyama echoed the sentiment saying: "If we can get a few people to rethink about atomic warfare and wars, then we can say we have served our purpose."
The students will hold a video-conference with the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, on August 6 at 11 am, which will be followed by a peace ballet - Shiroi Hana (White Flowers) by The Bornfree Art School students at Bal Bhavan, Cubbon Park.
