Three decades on, widows of 84 anti-Sikh riots still feel neglected.

Three decades after the anti Sikh riots broke out in 1984, the widows of the 84 riots find themselves still living in darkness. For 30 years, they have struggled to make ends meet and feel victimized - even the free electricity supply provided by the government has been cut off abruptly. As the politicians offer mere lip service, their only worry and expectation ahead of the elections is a better future of their third generation. Nanki Devi lost her husband and brother in law in the riots. She moved to the rehabilitation colony for widows with her two sons planning to rebuilt their lives.
However, her hope for a better living still remains a dream. She couldn't afford to teach her boys, but now even her dream of a better life for her grandchildren has hit a roadblock. Free electricity supplied to the colony has now been stopped abruptly.

Only option for them is now to convert and hope for the best...
Convert to what ? I guess Hinduism or else just correct me if I'm wrong. After converting into the fold of majority , they would automatically become strong to take care of themselves.
