Aftermath of the Amritsar massacre, 1919. (Photograph: Narayan Vinayak Virkar, courtesy of Nehru Memorial Museum Library)

In 1919 a peaceful crowd gathered in an open area called Jallianwala Bagh, in the Indian city of Amritsar, to protest against the British authorities’ arrest of pro-independence leaders Saifuddin Kitchlew and Satyapal. The crowd was surrounded by troops from the British Indian army who, under orders from the acting brigadier general, Reginald Dyer, began to fire on the protesters, killing many hundreds of people – estimates suggest 370 to 1,000.

A young photographer called Narayan Vinayak Virkar arrived to document the aftermath. These images are very different from the rest of his work, which largely consists of sumptuous portraits of nationalist leaders such as Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose; instead Virkar took a series of sparse crime scene pictures, with the bullet holes from the shooting circled in white chalk. Relatives of those killed point to the holes.

For art historian Christopher Pinney, Virkar’s work “is a very significant moment” in the history of photography. In the 19th century it had been used as a tool of scientific or political authority, but in the 20th century, photographers such as Virkar began to use it to challenge the power structures around them. “Virkar undoubtedly saw his images as involved in a fightback against colonial oppression,” Pinney says. He sees a link between Virkar and the citizen journalists of today who document wrongdoing by the powerful. FB

Jallianwala Bagh Case Study: Effects of PTSD | Solh Wellness

PTSD is a mental disorder induced by a stressful event or incident in a person's life. The illness may have a long-term influence on the individual, ranging from several months to years. Specific triggers can reactivate trauma-related memories, resulting in heightened emotional and physical responses such as anxiety and panic attacks. 

The massacre in Jallianwala Bagh

The tragedy at Jallianwala Bagh is a horrific incident in Indian history. General Dyer, a British military officer, ordered his soldiers to open fire on an unarmed crowd gathering in Amritsar, Punjab, on April 13, 1919. The throng had peacefully gathered to protest the arrest of nationalist leaders. Many individuals were killed, and many more were injured. Excruciating agony and long-term psychological trauma resulted from the catastrophe. Survivors of the massacre were profoundly affected, and many struggled to recover from the horror of the incident. A certain incident in Indian history causes the population to develop mental diseases such as PTSD. 

Survivors of such disasters are traumatised.

Following a heinous event such as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, people may experience tiredness, confusion, melancholy, concern, agitation, numbness, detachment, physiological arousal, and muted affect. These are thought to be natural, socially acceptable, psychologically successful, and self-limiting reactions. However, due to the delay, traumatic reactions are conceivable, particularly for people who witnessed events such as the killing. These delayed effects can include persistent tiredness, sleep problems, nightmares, fear of recurrence, flashback anxiety, sadness, and avoidance of anything related to the trauma. Such occurrences might result in chronic and incapacitating psychological deficiencies, leading to formal diagnoses such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The following are some of the most prevalent PTSD symptoms:

Trauma survivors frequently experience triggers and flashbacks.

Anger, fear, and grief are all common emotional reactions to tragedy.

Numbing is a coping strategy that results in emotional detachment.

A typical sign of PTSD is hyper-arousal, which manifests as sleep difficulties and increased startle responses.

Trauma can cause a variety of physical health problems, including digestive, cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, pulmonary, and dermatological issues.

The Psychological Impact of PTSD on Children

Children who witness horrible acts like Jalliwanwala Bagh may have a range of symptoms based on their age. Young children may experience dread, disorientation, nightmares, and physical symptoms, whereas adolescents may experience despair, social disengagement, hazardous behaviours such as sexual acting out, and a desire for vengeance. After seeing the bloodshed, Indian independence heroes and symbols such as Bhagat Singh and Sardar Udham Singh experienced severe mental anguish. 

Dealing with PTSD

Learning new coping skills and ways to deal with challenging emotions can be quite beneficial for trauma survivors. Practical therapies include mindfulness activities, cognitive restructuring, and exposure therapy. Aside from medication, healthy sleep habits, Nightmare mental rehearsal, relaxation techniques, and adequate nutrition can all aid in the treatment of nightmares. The importance of normalising trauma symptoms for healing should be addressed more. Individuals must be reassured that their symptoms do not indicate a lack of strength or fault, and that they may heal. Remember that you are not alone or to blame; assistance is available.

Conclusion

The Jallianwala Bagh incident occurred more over 110 years ago on this day, but it remains one of India's most horrible incidents. Such acts leave an indelible mark on those who witness them.

On this day, 13 March 1940, Indian revolutionary Udham Singh assassinated former lieutenant governor of the Punjab, Michael O'Dwyer, at a meeting in London. The assassination was in revenge for the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre when O'Dwyer dispatched troops to attack a peaceful protest, resulting in around 1,800 people being killed and over 1,200 wounded. O'Dwyer referred to the events as a "correct action". While in custody, Singh called himself "Ram Mohammad Singh Azad": the first three words of the name reflect the three major religions of Punjab (Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh), while the last, "azad", means "free". Convicted of murder, Singh was sentenced to death. Speaking at his trial, Singh explained: "He deserved it. He was the real culprit. He wanted to crush the spirit of my people, so I have crushed him. For full 21 years, I have been trying to seek vengeance. I am happy that I have done the job."

Why the Queen Charlotte Show's Take on Race is Dubious at Best and Harmful at Worst (Also, Was Queen Charlotte Actually Black? An Exploration)

As the promo for the Queen Charlotte show picks up, I'm starting to see a lot of genuinely harmful articles in the news, and they're compounded by Shondaland themselves and the material they've chosen to show the world.

Let's first talk about Shondaland, who decided it was a great idea to double down on the notion that love cured racism, and then proceeded to create a show about Queen Charlotte and King George III, a man who was historically pro-slavery politically, and did nothing about the issue even as abolition sentiment picked up during his reign. Their Valentine's Day event didn't inspire much confidence either; they showed multiple clips that describe this segregated society (their kind don't mix with our kind, or some variation of this, was said a thousand times in each promo clip) where the white people in power (the monarchy) apparently don't engage with the Black nobility until.... suddenly now, when Princess Charlotte is arriving to marry George. Oh also, Corey Mylchreest, the actor who plays George III recommended a book called, The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III, written by Baron Roberts of Belgravia, a man who has apparently defended the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and mass internment in Northern Ireland. Lovely. Going back on topic, the clips themselves showed an embarrassingly white-washed portrayal of racism and segregation, and that too, we know it was all magically solved within a generation.

Look, I'm not asking for a tragic POC narrative. But if I'm watching a show where race is a focal point thematically, I want it treated with the respect and consideration it deserves. Not some post-racial-but-not-really fantasy bullshit they're spinning. As my friend @jeanvanjer said, racism isn't simply being "mean" or someone being given the cut-direct. Because here's the thing: Shondaland absolutely had the option of not creating this ridiculous narrative. They could have casted all the same, lovely actors and not explained why this regency fantasy world is diverse! Instead, they decided to bring in race, but then treat it as a fucking joke.

Which brings me to this article:

First of all, for an article that's titled race is "more central" to the Queen Charlotte show, it barely gives us any information as to how. Instead, it gives this quote from Adjoa Andoh:

First of all, "TRUE TO HISTORY"? I'm sorry, is Shondaland and its actors spinning the narrative that Queen Charlotte truly was a mixed-race woman in an effort to legitimize this show's need to create this simplistic racial narrative?

Fine. Lets examine that, shall we? How did Queen Charlotte come to allegedly have a Black ancestor? Let me tell you this: it was not due to love conquering racism. The answer lies in the 1200s. Literally 500 years before Charlotte's birth. Her name was likely Madragana Ben Aloandro, and she was a woman of possibly-Moorish ancestry and a Muslim. She was born in the Algarve when it was still ruled by the Moors, but it was conquered by King Afonso III, who made Madragana his mistress shortly after, had her converted to Christianity, and had her name changed. There are gaps in her story, but if I try to fill them in, I can very well imagine that based on the fact that this man conquered her home by use of military force, and she was around twenty years younger than him, there was... likely a significant lack of consent here along with erasure of identity. This is the woman Charlotte is likely descended from, a woman who was born some 500 years before her, and likely had a negligible contribution to Charlotte's gene pool. But somehow, the show and this article expects us to believe that historical assertions that Charlotte looked like a Black woman, or even counted as biracial, are not racist, but statements of fact.

Indeed, this article relied on disgusting, racist, and obviously biased descriptions from Charlotte's contemporaries including her personal physician Baron Stockmar and Sir Walter Scott as "proof" Charlotte was a mixed-race woman, and then proceeded to tie her to Meghan Markle in terms of the racism they experienced:

These false equivalencies and cherry-picking historical facts have become a hallmark of the Bridgerton show, and now the Queen Charlotte show as well, apparently.

What this show, and Shondaland as a whole, fails to understand is that its take on racial politics is embarrassing and ridiculous for an educated, modern audience. For those of us who are students of history, we cannot accept a narrative like "love cures racism" and simply fly with it, because we know that cheapens not only the romance of this alleged historical romance show, but also the hard-won battles people in history fought in order to freely love who they choose to love.

We cannot accept an even more dangerous potential narrative the show may try to sell us, that segregated societies can be equal by pointing to proof of Black aristocrats in the Queen Charlotte show as an example. Because if there's anything decades of precedent has taught us, a segregated society is inherently unequal.

We cannot accept this Queen Charlotte show than anything more than a thoughtlessly-done portrayal of a segregated society, waiting to magically be fixed by someone— the white man who was historically a racist pro-slaver? A Black woman who wasn't actually Black historically?

Who knows.

Note: A great movie which does not just portray Kashmir as this “beautiful picturesque scenery” but the harsh political reality of this fractured state, which is not easy to portray. This, in my opinion is one of the best acting performance of Shahid Kapoor’s career. Tabu as always SHINES (she should be stored in a gold vault istg), Kay Kay Menon steals the show with his perfectly sinister portrayal of Haider’s Uncle.
