    Question

    Who among the following has written the novel 'Pinjar'?

    A.

    Bhisham Sahani

    B.

    Mohan Rakesh

    C.

    Amrita Pritam

    D.

    Mannu Bhandari

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is: (c) Amrita Pritam.        
    • Amrita Pritam: She is the author of Pinjar (The Skeleton), a poignant novel that explores themes of partition, identity, and the struggles of women.
    • The story revolves around a Hindu woman abducted during the partition of India, dealing with complex societal and personal challenges. 
    • Why correct: Amrita Pritam is a celebrated Punjabi writer and poet, well-known for her feminist and partition-themed works.
    Why not the other options?
    • Bhisham Sahani: He is known for his famous work Tamas, which also deals with the partition of India but is unrelated to Pinjar. His writings focus on social and political issues.
    • Mohan Rakesh: A pioneer in Hindi drama, he is known for plays like Ashadh Ka Ek Din and Adhe Adhure. He primarily wrote plays, not novels like Pinjar.
    •  Mannu Bhandari: She is a prominent Hindi author known for works like Aapka Bunty and Mahabhoj, which focus on relationships and socio-political themes but not the partition or Pinjar.
