The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre showed the ugly side of the British government. It was a mass murder in cold blood of hundreds of innocent and unarmed citizens. April 13th, 1919, was the darkest day in the history of the Freedom struggle of India.

Acting Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer was the British government officer responsible for this mass murder. He ordered his troops to mercilessly and indiscriminately shot at the innocent Indian citizens gathered in Jallianwala Bagh. The government had passed a law that prohibited the movement of citizens and mass gatherings.

The crowd gathered at Jallianwala Bagh consisted of unarmed men, women, and children. It was the festival of Baishakhi, and there was a fair. Many visitors had gathered at this fair. However, the local administration cleared up the place. Half of the visitors left to go to the Golden Temple, the rest of them gathered at Jallianwala Bagh. General Dyer got news of this gathering and ordered his troops to shoot at this gathering.
