Sikh Holocaust Memorial?

[TejS]

How come our elders/community don't talk about the Chota and Vadda Ghallūghārā? It seems to me that it is not something our youth know and its not something that is imparted to us by our elders, at least that was the case for me, my fellow friends, and my community growing up.

It's not as if it's completely forgotten or anything. There's a gurdwara at the site of the Vadda Ghallughara at village Kup outside Ludhiana. Badal also built a memorial when he was Chief Minister.

 

There's also a gurdwara at the site of the Chota Ghallughara at Kahnuwan in Gurdaspur district plus another memorial built by Badal.

 

So, it's not like we've totally forgotten those Sikhs who perished in those slaughters. 

I would agree, however, that not too much mention of the Ghallugharas is made in local gurdwaras.

Yeah that's what I meant to say. It's not something that is talked about from time to time. Years and years go by and there's no mention of it in our congregations.
