In 'The Jallianwala Bagh Journals', Sarmistha Dutta Gupta gives more than an account of the 1919 Amritsar massacre. Her pedagogic experiment also serves as a chronicle of our own troubled times.
With the most recent revamp of the Jallianwala Bagh Memorial, we are witnessing the final traces of the past erased to give way to a tacky tourist-attraction.
Inaugurating the renovated memorial via video conferencing Saturday, PM Modi said horrors like the Jallianwala Bagh massacre speak to the sacrifices made for India's freedom.
