102 years of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919. This
year we commemorate the 102nd anniversary of the terror that shook the entire country to a standstill. The
Jallianwalabagh garden has been converted into a memorial. And thousands of people on this day come to
pay their respects to the martyred men, women, who were killed on that fateful day for the nation.
History of the day:

Acting Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer ordered troops of
the British Indian Army to fire their rifles into a crowd of
unarmed Indian civilians in Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar,
Punjab. General Dyer, the British India army officer, felt the
people gathering for such a cause was antinational. He
ordered the 50 of his troops consisting of Sikh, Gurkha,
Baluchi, and Rajput to open fire on the unarmed men and
women. The resulting figures would make you go numb as
379 men and women were killed for no fault of theirs and
1100 injured.
