Answer:
On a fateful day of Baisakhi on 13th April 1919, thousands of Indians were killed by a contingent of the British Army under the command of General Dyer. The General ordered his troops to open fire on the unsuspecting crowd, resulting in over a thousand deaths.
It is a shameful scar on British Indian history, shameful for the Britishers of course, but no less shameful for the Indians. The reason being, the troop that opened fire on an unarmed crowd constituted of Indian soldiers from Sikh and Gorkha regiments. Dyer ordered his troops to shoot at the crowd from a high bank.
He also ordered them to kneel down and fire to inflict maximum casualties. Soldiers were also ordered to reload their rifles several times until the ammunition exhausted after around ten minutes. Around one hundred and twenty bodies were recovered from a well which was located in the middle of the park.

The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre was a murder of thousands of Indians, committed by one acting Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer. On 13th April 1919, Dyer ordered his troops to open fire at peacefully gathered Indians at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar. Ironically the soldiers those fired at the crowd consisted of Gurkha and Sikh regiments of the British Indian Army.
Despite being Indians themselves, they were so loyal to their British masters that they readily opened fire on the unsuspecting crowd of men, women, and children. The massacre causes thousands of deaths due to bullet injuries and stampede.
The action of Dyer got mixed reactions from over the world. Rudyard Kipling, the famous English writer stated that Dyer just did what he felt was the right thing to do. Rabindranath Tagore renounced his knighthood and highly condemned the act of Dyer.
