 जलियांवाला बाग, अमृतसर: एक अभिशाप इतिहास की कड़ी-संग्राम की अविस्मरणीय घटना!

जलियांवाला बाग, अमृतसर एक ऐतिहासिक स्थल है जो भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम की एक अहम घटना के रूप में प्रसिद्ध हुआ है। यह जगह 13 अप्रैल 1919 को ब्रिटिश सेना के सैनिकों द्वारा नागरिकों पर निष्ठुर अत्याचार के लिए प्रसिद्ध हुआ था। यह घटना भारतीय आजादी आंदोलन की एक प्रमुख मोड़ थी और ब्रिटिश शासन के खिलाफ आवाज बुलंद करने का प्रमुख केंद्र बन गया।

जलियांवाला बाग स्थल का नाम अमृतसर के शहर में स्थित एक मैदान पर रखा गया है adventures for solo travelers। इस स्थान पर एक आम जनता की बैठक का आयोजन किया जा रहा था, जिसमें अनेक लोग उपस्थित थे। इस मौके पर ब्रिटिश सेना के एक ब्रिगेडियर जनरल रेजराल डायर की अध्यक्षता में उनके सैनिकों ने अचानक अग्निशमन किया। यहां तक कि मारे गए और घायलों की संख्या करीब 1000 थी।

इस घटना का मुख्य कारण था रॉलेट एक्ट, 1919 का अंतिमांकन करने की भारतीय सरकार द्वारा विरोध करने की योजना जो विरासत विद्रोह के दौरान लागू की गई थी। इस एक्ट के तहत, ब्रिटिश सरकार को संगठित विरोध के कारण उग्र एक्शन लेने की अनुमति मिली थी। जलियांवाला बाग में हुई जघन्य घटना इस एक्ट के विरोध के प्रतीक के रूप में उभरी।

जलियांवाला बाग हमला राजनीतिक, सामाजिक और मानवीय दृष्टिकोण से एक घोर निंदनीय घटना था। यह ब्रिटिश सरकार के द्वारा नागरिकों पर निष्ठुरता की उच्चतम दर्जे की मिसाल थी। इसके परिणामस्वरूप, भारतीय जनता के आंदोलन ने और उग्र रूप लिया और आजादी की मांग में नई ऊर्जा और प्रेरणा दी।

जलियांवाला बाग हमले के बाद, ब्रिटिश सरकार ने तत्कालीन भारतीय राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस की मुख्यालय अद्यतन की योजना रद्द कर दी और भारतीयों के प्रतिनिधित्व को कम किया। यह हमला भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम की एक नई परिधि का आरंभ करता है, जिसमें आंदोलनों और ब्रिटिश सरकार के बीच मार्गदर्शन के संबंध में गहरी तनाव पैदा हुआ।

जलियांवाला बाग अब एक मेमोरियल स्थल के रूप में स्थापित है जहां लोग इस घटना को याद करते हैं और शहीदों को नमन करते हैं। इस स्थान पर आम जनता को भ्रमण की अनुमति है और यह एक महत्वपूर्ण पर्यटन स्थल बन चुका है। यहां आने वाले लोग जलियांवाला बाग हमले की कठोरता और उसके प्रभाव को महसूस करते हैं और इतिहास के इस प्रमुख पड़ाव का सम्मान करते हैं।

blog where I show off some old science fiction/fantasy I’ve gotten my hands on and share my personal opinion on them: The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold.

a young man receives a thing called a Time Belt from his uncle Jim and uses it to time travel. he meets various versions of himself and even has a little hanky panky with his past self. existential turmoil, mind-bending paradoxes, and questioning of the “self” ensues.

I want to personally call this my absolute favorite piece of science fiction (thus far!). it hit all the right points for me. this has been reviewed as the Ultimate Time Travel Novel and it does not disappoint. a very quick read that can be knocked out in a day and leave with you a sense of lost sense of identity and apathetic existentialism. this book ruined my day in the best way possible.

it is also very queer!

10/10 ⭐️

short books recs (under 200 pages)

1. Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa

This book follows Sentaro, who runs a dorayaki stall, and his friendship with Tokue, who makes killer sweet bean paste. It is a heart-warming and endearing story that brings you comfort. I love the friendship between Sentaro and Tokue, especially seeing how it develops. The ending feels a little rushed. I kind of wished it was longer. Kind of sad. I cried. 10/10 would read again.

2. Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

The Funiculi Funicula cafe provides a time-traveling service, and the book, divided into four parts, retells different characters' experiences traveling in time. I always associate time-traveling with angst and regret, and this book has just that. I love how each part explores different relationship dynamics, so the time-traveling experience varies for each character. Very heart-warming, but very emotional as well. Cried a lot. It's a series but you don't have to read other books. But if you want more info on the cafe and the characters' backstory, then I highly recommend reading the other books.

3. Heaven by Mieko Kawakami

This book revolves around two students, who are victims of bullying. Due to their shared struggle, a friendship blossoms between them. The depiction of bullying and its impacts is raw and authentic, the story providing the perspectives of both the victims and the perpetrators. It was a rage-inducing but thought-provoking read.

4. The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa

This book follows Nana the cat as he embarks on a road-trip with his owner, Satoru. Now, cats are my absolute weakness. I love cats. I WOULD DIE FOR THEM. Which is why reading this book was hard and painful. The writing is witty, since it is written from the perspective of a cat. The plot itself is kind of predictable, but it doesn't make it any less painful. Tldr; Shredded my heart into pieces. Cried so hard, I couldn't breathe.

5. Almond by Won-Pyung Sohn

The story follows the main character, Yunjae, who suffers from a rare condition called Alexithymia that essentially makes him unable to feel emotions. Due to that, he couldn't understand social cues so people shun him. The development of the story centers on the people Yunjae are going to meet, and how his relationship with these people develops. The ending felt a little anticlimactic, but I loved it nonetheless.

6. Eartheater by Dolores Reyes

The unnamed protagonist can locate missing people and find out their fate by eating dirt, so people seek her to know the fate of their missing loved ones. It was definitely an interesting read, with elements of magical realism in relation to the protagonist's ability. It is also an intriguing depiction of femicide, a reflection of a system that continuously fails women. I felt rage for the women failed by the system and the sufferings they had to endure at the hands of hateful men.

7. A House is a Body by Shruti Swamy

This book is a collection of short stories, which is a raw and authentic depiction of what it is like being human. I enjoyed certain stories, while some left me utterly confused. The narratives are enticing and poetic, so despite some stories not hitting that hard, I enjoyed the writing.

8. The Vegetarian by Han Kang

After having a bizarre dream, Yeong-Hye declares that she is turning vegetarian, and this sudden change concerned her family. I made the mistake of thinking that this book is merely a depiction of what it's like to be a vegetarian. HELL NO. It utterly deviates from my expectation. I could only describe the book as bizarre and spooky, in an unconventional way. It depicts the complexity of the human mind when the contraint of societal expectations is disregarded.

🐈 The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa (trans. Philip Gabriel)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“At that moment, we were without doubt the greatest travelers in the world. And I was the world’s greatest traveling cat.”

Nana the cat, and his human Satoru embark on a cross-country journey to find and meet three people from his past, or so Nana is led to believe. What unfolds is a special trip that will last a lifetime.

I bawled. I’ll just start by saying that reading this story in one sitting, with my beloved Karma by my side, made me cry tears that wouldn’t stop. This is a heart-filling story. The relationship between Satoru and his cat, the relationships they make and revisit on the trip, and the moments that stay with us.

There’s something magical about this book and the way it was narrated by Nana, who had so much to say. Now that I’m done with it, I wish I could read it all over again.

20.07.23

After pushing myself to study for first half of the day and losing focus all the while, I decided to call it a day and went out instead.

A day spent reading and travelling in delhi metro🚆

And pizza, of course!

Maybe, a day need not always be "productive" to be called a good day. Much of the richness in life comes from those unproductive wee hours we spend with ourselves, and for ourselves.

The time I spend with my friends chatting over the silly gossips, or the lazy day reading books or catching up on my favorite tv show, the simple pleasure of a good meal with a friend. Productive days are good. But they are not the epitome of a good life.
