One hundred years ago, during the massacre at Amritsar's Jallianwala Bagh, a young man named Nanak Singh survived under the fallen bodies of his comrades. He went on to become one of Punjab's greatest novelists, but his poem about that day – 'Khooni Vaisakhi' – was banned by the British, then lost for decades. On the centenary, Nanak Singh's grandson, Navdeep Suri – also India's Ambassador to the UAE – has translated it into English, in a book now published by HarperCollins India. Suri tells The Wire about how the poem resonates even in the present day.
