Consider the following statements :
1. 'Ajj Aakhaan Waris Shah Nu' (Today I Invoke Waris Shah) is a famous poem by the renowned Punjabi writer Amrita Pritam about the horrors of the partition of the Punjab during the Partition of India in 1947.
2. The poem is addressed to the historic Punjabi poet 'Waris Shah' who is considered as 'Shakespeare of Punjab' for his literary work 'Heer Ranjha'.
Which of the above statements is/are correct ?
Answer: C
Both statements are correct, so the answer is Both 1 and 2.
Ajj Aakhaan Waris Shah Nu (Today I invoke Waris Shah) is Amrita Pritam's best-known poem, a lament for the violence suffered by the people, and especially the women, of Punjab during the Partition of 1947 (1).
The poem calls on Waris Shah, the eighteenth-century Punjabi Sufi poet who wrote the classic verse romance Heer (Heer Ranjha), to rise from his grave and write of Punjab's new tragedy, as he once wrote of Heer's. Waris Shah's place in Punjabi literature has led to his being called the Shakespeare of Punjabi, which is how statement 2 describes him. With both statements true, the other options are wrong.
