⭐⭐🌟 BOOK REVIEW 🌟⭐⭐


📚 Crimson Spring


13 April 1919 : Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

It was the harvest festival day of Baisakhi. Around twenty five thousand had gathered in Bagh. The Bagh was an open area enclosed with high walls on all sides which ended into a narrow passage. A speaker was opposing the Rowlatt Act, when General Dyer entered the bagh with this soliders and gave order to open fire at the crowd without a warning. Almost 1650 round were fired before they stopped. Hundreds died that moment and another hundreds were left to die.


💫 This book once again refreshes our memory with the worst massacre of the twentieth century which claimed more than 20,000 lives. This shooting revolutionized the Indian Freedom Movement

💫 This book is dedicated to all the freedom fighters of India. Everyone has their version about the massacre at Jallianwala Bagh, and this book is the author's version. The barbarous act which shook the lives of Indians.

💫 This is a well written and well researched book. It shows the tremendous effort of the author. The book brings out the real picture of incident. Important dates in the history of India is also memorized in the book. We find vivid description of the characters and places in the book. The language used is simple, easy and smooth.

💫 The author has perfectly created the world of colonial India around us before starting off. Clubbing together the nine protagonists was marvellous. Udham Singh, the man who carried fire in his bosom adorned the pages of the book too.

💫 We once again get to live those moments through this book and experience the immense pain of innocent men, women and children. The incident leaves an everlasting impression on us. It was the worst massacre in the world. Even after a century, the incident agonize me. My heart tears apart while recalling it.

  *Title: Echoes of Loss and Longing Through Verses: A Look into Whispers of the Blue Ghost by Pratikshya Panda* In Whispers of the Blue Ghost, Pratikshya Panda invites readers to step quietly into a landscape shaped by memory, longing, and the ever-shifting contours of loss. This evocative poetry collection is not a loud lamentation of grief, but rather a soft, persistent whisper—an intimate exploration of what it means to hold on to the past while learning to let go. At the heart of each poem in this book lies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth. Pratikshya’s poems do not overwhelm with complex language or abstract metaphors. Instead, they whisper truths with a gentleness that lingers long after the final poem has been read. There’s an amount of restraint that allows each image—whether it be water, bone, star, or shadow—to resonate deeply, creating an atmosphere where the reader can feel both grounded and suspended, real and dreamlike. The recurring imagery ...
