This massacre exposed the inhuman approach of the British when the British troop cold-bloodedly open fire into an unarmed crowd without any warning by General Dyer which had assembled at enclosed park for the public meeting that was banned.
On 13th April people gathered there to protest against the arrest of the two nationalist leaders, Satya Pal and Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew. Suddenly, a British military officer, General Dyer, entered the park with his troops. Without even giving a warning to the people to disperse, he ordered his troops fired at the unarmed crowd for ten minutes and when their ammunition was exhausted, they left. In those ten minutes, according to the estimates of the congress, about a thousand persons were killed and about 2000 wounded.
The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre was the deadliest and brutal incident ever happened in the history of India.
In 1919, the pre-independent India was slowly emerging with the help of Mahatma Gandhi.
In Amritsar, the British imposed a martial law in which it allowed detention of people. There was the usual annual Baisakhi fair. The people from other towns who gathered there were unaware of the law. They were brutally beaten up and killed. This lead to anger among the people across India. The Rowlatt Act was also implemented at that time. This act was passed by the Imperial Legislative Council which gave enormous power to the government to repress the political activities.
General Dyre claimed that the massacre was to create in the minds of Satyagrahis a feeling of terror and awe. There were strikes and clashes with the police and attacks on government buildings by the people mainly lived in the North Indian towns. The government responded with brutal repression. The villages were widely bombed, people were flogged and Satyagrahis were mostly ill treated. The non- cooperation movement which had been launched earlier was forced to stop by Gandhi as the result was violent.
This led to the emergence the Khilafat Movement which brough the Hindus and Muslims together.
