About 800 attended a candlelight Vigil on Sunday, July 18th, 2010 at
Old Bridge High School to honor the memory of Dr.Divyendu Sinha
New Jersey, July 18, 2010: Over 800 people attended a Vigil and
Memorial service held in honor of Dr. Divyendu Sinha who was fatally
attacked near his home on June 25, 2010 in front of his wife and two
sons at Old Bridge, New Jersey. Old Bridge Township officials, Old
Bridge Board of Education members, State Legislators, Old Bridge
community as well as members of the Indian-American Community at
large, including leaders of other organizations such as Anti
Defamation League (ADL) and Japanese American Citizens League
participated in the vigil.
The community expressed grief for the loss of Dr. Sinha’s life. Dr.
Sinha was a brilliant technologist who had made many contributions to
the field of science. More importantly Dr. Sinha was a law abiding
American living in what he thought was a safe community of Old
Bridge. Representatives of the Sinha family and close friends
expressed their gratitude to the community for their support.
Lawrence Cooper of ADL said Jewish people will stand together with
Indian American community, shoulder to shoulder and denounce the
crime. Indian American elected leaders Sudhanshu Prasad and
representative on behalf of Upendra Chivukula called for firm action.
While the Township’s administration and the Board of Education
expressed their sorrow over the tragedy, many speakers wanted to know
as to why the Township Administration and the School Board had been
ignoring the telltale signs of the tragedy. It was pointed that the
tragedy did not suddenly occur on the day of the attack, but its
signs were very obvious much earlier.
A website that has been set up to petition the Middlesex county
prosecutor and other authorities to bring justice to Dr. Sinha’s
family for this heinous crime, has received over 30,000 hits (with
nearly 10,000 signing the petition) to date. Some comments stated
that their children were aware who the perpetrators of the crime who
were bullies at school but school chose to ignore because they are
valuable as good athletes to school team. A reporter, who covered the
story and happens to live in the same development as Dr. Sinha,
mentioned that her Chinese American neighbor is terrified about the
bullying practices by certain elements of the school. The community
wanted to know how and why the school administration had overlooked
such incidents. The superintendent responded by saying that the
school would not condone bullying regardless of an individual’s
athletic skills.
The town’s administration was queried about several incidents of
harassment and bullying reported by citizens of township during the
town hall meeting on June 29th arranged after the attack. One
community leader who had interviewed the residents of the area
highlighted examples of rowdy behavior by certain elements in the
neighborhood and subsequent inaction by the police when such
incidents were reported.
The message conveyed by several speakers was that the Township and
School Board would have to take responsibility for the tragedy and
take every step in their power to ensure that this incident was not
repeated.
The vigil ended on a positive note where the community leaders and
the community at large who had assembled, expressed appreciation that
following the incident the administration as well as the school board
have been very cooperative and forthcoming in extending help to the
family and the community.
The elected officials offered to work diligently to serve justice.
The community promised to keep up the vigil until justice is served,
and the community agreed to foster harmony among citizens of all
races and religions.
Indian American community, comprising of several Organizations in
tri-state arranged the program under the leadership of Pradip (Peter)
Kothari. For additional information, contact Satya or Sreedhar at
