Published: Spring 2021 http://sikhresearchjournal.org http://sikhfoundation.org Sikh Research Journal, Vol. 6 No. 1 1 Nanak Singh’s Khooni Vaisakhi: The Poet and the Poem Navdeep Singh Suri Former Ambassador of India to Egypt and UAE and High Commissioner to Australia Abstract This paper provides insight into key aspects of the Punjabi poem, Khooni Vaisakhi, written by Nanak Singh, who was present at the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre of 13 April, 1919, in Amritsar, Punjab. The poem was published in 1920, banned soon after, and was essentially lost for the next 60 years. The current author translated the poem into English, and published it in 2019. This paper uses family history and excerpts of his translation to discuss Nanak Singh’s motivation in writing the poem, the events leading up to the massacre, and themes of nationalism and communal amity. It describes Nanak Singh’s evolution as a novelist, and his transformation into a nationalist after the massacre. Some brief comments on the poem’s relevance for the present are also included. Keywords: Nanak Singh, Khooni Vaisakhi, Jallianwala Bagh, Indian nationalism Introduction 22-year old Nanak Singh was present at Jallianwala Bagh, in the city of Amritsar, during the infamous massacre on 13 April 1919.1 He lost two close friends who were killed in the shooting, and he was knocked unconscious in the ensuing chaos, but survived, and wrote a searing long poem called Khooni Vaisakhi2 that was first published in May 1920.

Contact: [email protected] MAHATMA GANDHI’S SATYAGRAHA MOVEMENTS DAVID M. TRABOULAY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In my hometown of San Fernando, Trinidad, in the old administrative center called Harris Promenade, there is an impressive statue of Mahatma Gandhi striding forward with his head high looking towards the sea. I became interested in Gandhi as a boy, as, indeed, did all Indians of Trinidad. The descendants of nineteenth century indentured immigrants from India organized the movement to erect a statue of Gandhi to commemorate the achievements of Indians in Trinidad. West Indians of Indian and African ancestry experienced the bitterness of indentured servitude and slavery but by the 1950s had happily achieved advancement socially, economically, and politically, and in 1962 Trinidad won its independence from Great Britain. The statue of Gandhi signified not only the achievement of independence in India and Trinidad, but also the particular achievements of former indentured laborers. I have taught a course on Modern India at the City University of New York every year since 1981 and always placed Gandhi’s Satyagraha struggle at the center of the course. There were times when I was amazed how interested my American students were in the figure of Gandhi.

    1 UNIVERSITY OF LONDON GOLDSMITHS COLLEGE In Service to India: The ethics of Rule and conduct of British Administrators and Army Officers in late nineteenth and early twentieth century India By Jatinder S. Bam Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology April 2003 2 UNIVERSITY OF LONDON ABSTRACT DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY Doctor of Philosophy IN SERVICE TO INDIA: THE ETHICS OF RULE AND CONDUCT OF BRITISH ADMINISTRATORS AND ARMY OFFICERS IN LATE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY INDIA By latinder S. Bam In this study I explore the military, administrative and governmental practices of British men as rulers in India during the Victorian and early Edwardian period. The historical events that are the focus of this study are the massacres and disturbances in Punjab, Amritsar 1919. I concentrate on three ruling characters involved in these events; an administrator, a military officer, and an Indian Secretary of State. The central question I ask is: how are these white men who claim to be fitted to rule over others made? I explore the changing relationships between these men and the history of colonialism in India. More specifically, I examine the intersections between 3 movements for independence and shifts in styles of colonial domination amongst these men in India at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In analyzing the events of 1919 I bring together discourses usually separated in discussions of colonial power. First, by following Foucault's leads on the problem of government and his reformulation of it as 'governmentality', I pursue the question of colonial sUbjectivity and its constitution.

  • Memories of Subjective and Objective Violence of Amritsar Massacre in Bali Rai’S City of Ghosts1 Indrajit Mukherjee
    Memories of Subjective and Objective Violence of Amritsar Massacre in Bali Rai’s City of Ghosts1 Indrajit Mukherjee Abstract Amritsar is a site of contestation and representation that always cries for a trajectory of resistance and protest against all forms of dehumanization and genocide perpetrated by the regime of terror and enforcement. The ferocious onslaught and assimilationist mentality of the colonizer silenced the colonized into dumb anguish of horror. Applying Žižek’s theory of violence and Nora’s notion of sites of memory, this paper seeks to explore how Bali Rai’s heart-rendering tale City of Ghosts (2009) brings back the memory of black horror and unhealed trauma of soul-sapping scheme of random bloodshed engineered by Dyer and his Co. from the points of view of three young men, Gurdial, Jeevan, and Bissen Singh, through constructing the national memory of Amritsar as a patchwork of fact and fiction. I will also represent how this present fiction uses the ghostly figure of Heera who appears in each man’s narrative to provide an alternative worldview from the perspectives of the marginalised. Keywords: Resistance, Violence, Sites of Memory, Trauma, Dyer. Introduction The Jallianwala Bagh massacre alias Amritsar massacre is considered to be one of the most phantasmagorical experiences in the history of Indian politics because the warnings of Acting Brigadier Edward Harry Dyer to his fellow troops to hurl bullets from their Enfield Mark IV rifles into a large gathering of unarmed demonstrators butchered and battered the lives of at least four hundred people on the threshold of their undone years in an enclosed park on the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi of 1919.

  • Article Writing Remembrance of Jallianwala Bagh ,Massacre Every
    NatioNal cadet corps 3 sikkim Ncc bN, GaNGtok activity: Article writing remembraNce of JalliaNwala baGh ,massacre Every year on 13th of April, we celebrate Jallianwala Bagh Remembrance Day in order to remember those people who had sacrificed their life for our country. This year our school conducted a program on this incident. The NCC cadets of our school, JNV Pakyong East Sikkim, presented a small drama on this incident. I was very fortunate to have got a chance to present a speech on this incident. For the preparation of this speech I took help from internet. I read many articles on this incident. I also got an opportunity to watch some videos on this incident. Some videos were so realistic and heart touching that I felt myself in that situation. This opportunity gave me a huge knowledge in my life. I came to know and feel that at what cost today I am standing as a free citizen of India. The sacrifices made so that the future generations may not suffer the way as they did. While preparing this speech I developed a huge love for the country and also the martyrs who gave their life for the freedom of our country. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre also known as the Amritsar massacre took place on 13th of April 1919, when Acting Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer ordered his troops of British Indian Army to open fire into the crowds of unarmed Indian civilians in the Jallianwala bagh. Background: The recently crushed Ghadar conspiracy, the presence of Mahendra Pratap's Kabul mission in Afghanistan and a still-active revolutionary movement especially in Punjab and Bengal as well as worsening civil unrest throughout India led to the appointment of a Sedition committee in 1918 chaired by Sidney Rowlatt, an English judge.

  • THE COLLECTED WORKS of MAHATMA GANDHI 1 in 1917, I Was Able to Tell You That in the First 2 Years of the War We Had 2 Raised 124,000 Combatants
    1. CONGRESS REPORT ON THE PUNJAB DISORDERS1 CHAPTER I THE PUNJAB (HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL) Historically the Punjab may be considered the most important province of India. It was here that the Aryas of Vedic times first made their home. It was here that the hymns of the Rig Veda were first chanted. It was to this province, at the great University of Taxila, that seekers after knowledge flocked from various parts of the world. It was in this province that the Pandus and the Kurus, the great heroes of the Mahabharata, fought out their great battles. It was here that Osiris, King of Egypt, first touched Indian soil and Semiramis, Queen of Assyria, who at the head of her vast armies tried her fortune for the dominion of India, suffered a crushing defeat. The Scythians and Tartars and Persians had to measure swords with the sons of the Punjab in their attempts to penetrate into India. It was in this province that Alexander the Great, though victorious, for the first time met a foe, under King Porus, who shattered his dream of a world-wide dominion. 1 Authorship of this Report, the full title of which reads Report of the Commis- sioners oppointed by the Punjab Sub-committee of the Indian National Congress, and which was published on March 25, 1920, has been attributed to Gandhiji on the basis of the following evidence : (I)”The responsibility of organizing the work of the Committee devolved on me, and as the privilege of conducting the inquiry in the largest number of places fell to my lot, I got a rare opportunity.
