Which of the following is known as the “Jallianwala Bagh” of Rajasthan?

CONCEPT

A historical epithet links a place or event to a better-known episode because they share a defining feature. To identify such an epithet, establish the candidate site, its location, the event commemorated there, and the historical basis of the comparison.

APPLICATION

Mangarh Dham is on Mangarh Hill near Anandpuri in Banswara district, close to the Rajasthan-Gujarat border. On 17 November 1913, a large Bhil gathering led by Govind Guru was fired upon by British and allied princely-state forces, causing extensive loss of life.

The massacre of an assembled, largely tribal population provides the historical parallel with the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Rajasthan Tourism therefore identifies Mangarh Dham as the “Jallianwala Bagh of Rajasthan.”

CONTRAST

• Chitra Mahal is a palace and mural complex in Bundi; its identity is architectural rather than a memorial to the 1913 Mangarh massacre.

• Lohagarh Fort is the major fort of Bharatpur, especially associated with its military resistance and the siege of 1805.

• Mandalgarh is a historic fort town in Bhilwara district, associated with a different sequence of regional conflicts.

• Question not attempted describes a response state, not a Rajasthan historical place.

RESULT

The site known by this epithet is Mangarh Dham. The learner report correctly identifies the location error in the earlier feedback: the site is associated with Banswara district, not Jodhpur district.
