A very powerful earthquake shook the western Indian State of Gujarat on January 26, 2001 killing thousands of people and destroying almost all of the buildings in the area. The response of the Sikh Sangat in the UK to the disaster was very rapid. Within hours, Khalsa Aid was receiving calls to launch a relief mission to Gujarat. http://www.facebook.com/inbox/readmessage.php?t=1271593390301#/video/video.php?v=1152393565296&oid=35254649651 Please join the facebook group and fanpage Thank you Khalsaaid.org
