New Book Unearths Banned Literature on Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

New Book Unearths Banned Literature on Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

Imagine a terrible event happened a long time ago called the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

After this event, many Indian writers wrote poems and plays and shared stories about how sad and angry they were.

But the people in charge back then didn't want anyone to read or hear these stories, so they banned them.

A woman named Rajwanti Mann, who used to work with old documents, found some of these secret writings.

She put them together in a new book called 'Jallianwala Bagh ki Karahein'.

This book is like a treasure chest, bringing back the voices of ordinary people that were almost lost.

It shows what they were feeling and how they remembered the tragedy, even when they were not allowed to speak about it openly.

The book also helps us understand a different side of history, not just the one written by the authorities.
