Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

Garam Hawa (1973), directed by M.S. Sathyu, is a landmark film of Indian Parallel Cinema based on an unpublished short story by Ismat Chughtai. The movie depicts the struggles and dilemmas of a North Indian Muslim family in Agra during the immediate aftermath of the Partition of India in 1947. The protagonist, Salim Mirza (played by Balraj Sahni), faces systemic discrimination, economic hardship, and the emotional turmoil of watching his family members migrate to Pakistan while he remains undecided about leaving his homeland. The film is highly regarded for its realistic portrayal of the human cost of displacement and the identity crisis of those who stayed in India. The other options (Sepoy Mutiny, Indigo Rebellion, and Paika Rebellion) are 19th-century historical events that occurred long before the setting of this film.
