Answers
Answer:
The day was April 13, 1919. It was supposed to be a joyous Baisakhi. Pilgrims along with peaceful protestors had gathered in the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar to celebrate the Sikh festival. Little did they know that their celebrations were soon going to turn into one of the deadliest moments in India's history.
{The blood that flowed}
Also known as the Amritsar massacre, thousands of people were fired upon by the British Indian Army soldiers at the orders of Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer. The General had ordered his troops to kneel and fire at the unarmed crowd of men, women, and children. The troops surrounded the entire garden and covered all the entries and a few narrow exit points before opening fire at the dense crowd for around 10 minutes. The crowd included thousands of Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims as well.
The total number of deaths occurred is disputed as the British Raj officials estimated that 379 people were killed and 1100, severely injured in the attack. However, according to the Indian National Congress, the casualty number is more than 1500 with 1000 killed. It was not only the shooting that killed the people. Several were killed in stampedes while fleeing the spot. Around 120 bodies were fished out from the well. Many wounded, who could not move died during the night.

Dyer and his troops entered the garden, blocking the main entrance behind them, took up position on a raised bank, and with no warning opened fire on the crowd for about ten minutes, directing their bullets largely towards the few open gates through which people were trying to flee, until the ammunition supply was almost exhausted. The following day Dyer stated in a report that "I hear that between 200 and 300 of the crowd were killed. My party fired 1,650 rounds
