Suri is the grandson of Nanak Singh, who survived the Jallianwala Bagh massacre when troops opened fire on Indians, killing 379 innocents. Nanak penned a searing poem Khooni Vaisakhi, that was banned by the British. Suri has translated the literary piece into English.
Rowlatt, on the other hand, is the great grandson of Sir Sydney Taylor Rowlatt, the British judge who drafted the infamous Rowlatt Act of 1919 that gave the British unlimited power to imprison Indians without trial on charges of sedition.
So when Suri and Rowlatt met on Thursday, the conversation was kind, refined and conciliatory. The lack of an apology still rankled (British PM Theresa May expressed her regrets last week).
"An apology is not something you wrench out of somebody. It has to be voluntary and something that comes from within you," said Suri.
Rowlatt said some of the actions of his country's past were tyrannical, like the slaughter of past that was "terribly, terribly wrong".
