In 1919 British had passed Rowlatt act.The Act curbed fundamental rights such as the freedom of expression and strengthened police powers. Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammad Ali Jinnah and others felt that the government had no right to restrict people’s basic freedoms. Gandhiji gave a call for a satyagraha against it. He asked the Indian people to observe 6 April 1919 as a day of non-violent opposition to this Act, as a day of “humiliation and prayer” and (strike). Satyagraha Sabhas were set up to launch the movement. The Rowlatt Satyagraha turned out to be the first all-India struggle against the British government although it was largely restricted to cities.
In April 1919 there were a number of demonstrations and hartals in the country and the government used brutal measures to suppress them. The Jallianwala Bagh is one such glaring example of those atrocities, inflicted by General Dyer in Amritsar on Baisakhi day (13 April) where he ordered several rounds of firing on the unarmed civilians who had gathered for a peaceful meeting. That ground had just one exit which was blocked by the armed British forces. They fired till the ammunitions got exhausted. People jumped into the wells to escape the bullets. The walls of the compound are embedded with the bullet marks.
