Correct Answer:
C. It was originally written in Urdu, which was later translated into Hindi by his brother.
Explanation:
The statements concerning Bhisham Sahni’s novel Tamas are accurate with the exception of option (c). While the book was released in 1974 and centers on the 1947 partition riots of the Indian subcontinent, it was originally written in Hindi, not Urdu. Sahni wrote the piece as a reaction to the communal strife in Bhiwandi during the early 1970s. The plot follows Nathu, a sweeper manipulated by the politician Murad Ali into killing a pig to incite tension. Consequently, option (c) is the incorrect statement.
