I was so interested to read about the BCS crest and think it so relevant in today’s world which is so torn by all sorts of political & racial differences. My memories of school are wonderful – we just did not feel there was any barrier between the different groups and I still think of the five Sikh ‘articles’ which they always had to ‘wear’, even in the shower!

The motto comes from the Bible, the book of Romans in the New Testament, chapter 12 and verse 21
which reads “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
I read the chapter in chapel at BCS so many times that I have practically memorized it.

In reply to Gurrinder Singh Khanna.

Indi
We have a treasure trove of information, photos, research work, much info on the history of BCS and the OCA. One article leads one to another (we do hope our readers click on the category and / or tags that we include with every post)…you could end up with hours gone by browsing this website. Thanks to the regular OCs who contributed and continue to contribute articles and photos etc.

This is brilliant!
Obviously follows some serious research,
Makes me wonder why anyone would want to create a new site, foregoing all the material available on this, the existing site.

Very insightful. We had a broad idea but this depth of detail makes it all the more meaningful. Thanks to Raaja Bhasin for this effort. Helps to keep the depth of feeling for the alma mater always alive !!
