data collection on Jallianwala Bagh massacre and salt Satyagraha
Answers
Answer:
Jallianwala Bagh massacre:
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919 when 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, killing at least 400, including 41 children, one only six weeks old. Over 1,000 were injured.
Salt satyagraha:
Salt Satyagraha was one of the famous movement in the Indian independence struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi. After the advent of Gandhiji into the Indian Independence struggle, the entire picture of the political scenario changed profoundly. The British government imposed many taxes on every need of the people. Even they brought the salt law to impose the tax on the salt. Hence, the tax on salt became unbearable to the salt makers.
Answer:
The place Gandhiji selected as the site for his symbolic breaking of the provisions of the hated Salt Tax, was Dandi, a seaside village in Gujarat. He decided to march the full distance of 241 miles, from his ashram at Ahmedabad, with a select band of co-workers. The appointed date: March 12, 1930.
Explanation:
Punjab, which experienced a series of great tragedies in the last century, will perhaps never forget the one that happened on the day of Baisakhi, April 13, 1919. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, which came barely months after the Armistice on November 11, 1918 ended World War I in Europe, occurred as undivided Punjab was struggling and in ferment.
