Hye Sharzhoom
May 1996
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Thank you for Hye Sharzhoom. I
read it thoroughly and was
pleased with your coverage of die
Catholicos visit
LeonaDonian
Antioch
Dear Editor,
Thank you very much for
publishing my short communication in die October 1995 edition of
Hye Sharzhoom. I truly appreciate
it Permit me to point out a missed
line in the third column of page
two: "...best in looting, (Kayseri)"
should read, "...best in looting burning, and terrorizing Armenian villages (Sassoun), monasteries
(Varag), and town districts
(Kayseri)."
Enclosed you will find
some documents pertaining to
South Indian Armenian tomb inscriptions which I found whilst rummaging through the archives ofthe
French churches here in
Pondicherry. I have marked on the
documents those inscriptions that
may interest you and have penned
out others, now and then followed
by my translation. I thought that
families in your community may
be familiar with some of the names.
Enclosed, too, is a document on
Armenians of India whose reference unfortunately I have either
misplaced or lost I leave these at
your full disposition.
Besides this, the meagre
exploration that I have done on
Armenian communities of In dia
today has turned up the following
facts: three Armenians living in
Madras, two of which (husband
and wife) work at Saint Mary's
Church on Armenian Street In
Calcutta, I went to the Armenian
School on Free School Street
where mere are about fifty or so
students most of whom from Iran
who escaped military conscription during the war between Iran
andlraq. At the Armenian Church
of Nazareth they informed me
that there are about ISO Armenians in Calcutta including several from Armenian herself,
among whom the priest of the
church. At the historical graveyard of Calcutta, besides those
memorials which I am sure you
are familiar with, I found one pyramidal gravestone of a certain
Andrew Anderson Esquire, aged
26, who died in 1818 and whose
memorial had been restored by
the Armenian Church ofNazareth.
At the Agra historical
cemetary, in spite of the huge
Armenian population that once
resided there, I came across no
tombstone nor inscription. Apparency me Armenian cemetry had been
destroyed.
Although here at
Pondicherry an Armenian Street did
exist (today called Rue de l'Eveche)
there is very little information about
Armenians. Neverthless, on page
175 of the tombstone inscription
documents, number 833, you will
find the sole reference to any Armenian bf Pondicherry.
In any case, I am sure that
you haveMesrob JacobSeth'snewly

Dear Editor,
For your wonderful newspaper, a
copy of Armenian info text for your
library, and two book reviews on
the text If possible make copies of
the book reviews and make available to your students. One review
was written last year and the more
recent one January 4,1996.
I have been enjoying your
Hye Sharzhoom for over two years
now and appreciate the fact that
you send me copies. Keep up the
good work.
If anyone is interested in
purchasing Armenian Info Text
they can obtain copies directly from
me ($15.00 + $2.50 for shipping
and handling), or if you wish, you
can purchase a large quantity for
$10.00 per book plus shipping. Hye

if you take the second option. Either way is acceptable to me.
Sincerely,
George Mouradian
