What is the name of the book containing English translation of the 100 year old classic Punjabi poem about Jallianwala Bagh massacre?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The correct choice is: “Khooni Vaisakhi”
“Khooni Vaisakhi” (Bloody Vaisakhi) is a long Punjabi poem written in 1920 by the novelist Nanak Singh, who survived the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 13 April 1919. It was banned by the British and lost for decades. In 2019, the massacre’s centenary, it was published in English translation by his grandson, the diplomat Navdeep Suri, as “Khooni Vaisakhi: A Poem from the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, Amritsar 1919”.
“Drummer Hodge” is a Boer War poem by Thomas Hardy, unrelated to Jallianwala Bagh.
