Human chain for peace and harmony

The Sydney Tamil Manram, the peak Association for all Indian Tamils in Sydney, along with the Indian community in the Hills district organised a Human Chain for Peace and Harmony on 26th January. The event took place at Balcombe Heights, 92 Seven Hills Road, in the Avenue of Trees where the main Australia Day entertainment had been organized by the Hills Shire Council. A human chain consisting of both

Indians and Australians was formed on the occasion. This was followed by laying of wreaths on the Soldiers memorial, “By laying the wreath on Australia Day the Indian community in Sydney - as recent migrants - wish to acknowledge the great sacrifices that have been made in Australia’s past to make what Australia is today,” stated Immanuel Selvaraj of the Sydnbey Tamil Manram.
