Stories from India: The video that helped a British family find their grandfather’s grave in Rajasthan
Published 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
People often wish to know where their ancestors lived and are buried. Journalist Gulshan Sharma came across one such story in Rajasthan’s Bandikui while filming the old International Church and a nearby yellow bungalow. After he shared the video, an English couple, the Fernandes family, reached out. They were searching for the grave of their grandfather, a British railway worker who died in the 1950s. Carrying old documents and faded photographs, they travelled from England to Bandikui to see his grave, his home, and the church that still stands today, a quiet reminder that family connections endure across time and distance.
