(Pramila:) “In the second week of February [1965] anti-Hindi riots broke out in Pondicherry. One evening a sadhak came running, and, shutting the door behind him, asked us [in Jhunjhun Home] to switch off all the lights and to remain very quiet. Then he rushed out. We had just finished our dinner. I asked the children to go to bed. They fell asleep. At 10 o'clock two captains came and took them all to the Playground. I refused to go. Sitting next to the window I could hear that a noisy mob had reached our street. Exactly at that moment the police van arrived and the firing started. Suddenly everything became quiet. At 1 o'clock in the night two servants brought Jatin-da. I served him some food in the kitchen. I came to know from him that three persons had died after being shot. At 3 o'clock he went back to the Bakery to start baking the bread. In the morning the children were brought back. They had breakfast and went to school. I was informed by the Ashram to take all valuables and cash and lock up the house and go to the School. When I came out on the street I saw that our post office had been burnt down. After spending two nights in the School, when everything was normal again, I came back home.”[1]
