please give me a short note on the Jallianwala Bagh incident
Answers
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre is an unforgettable event in Indian history that took place on 13 April 1919 in a park by the same name under General Dyer’s instructions. The massacre resulted in the death of a lot of innocent people, who were predominantly Sikhs who had assembled to celebrate the Baisakhi festival. Many people were also seriously injured. General Dyer ordered his troops to open fire without any warning and after blocking all the exits to the park. He reasoned that this act was to punish the Indians for holding a meeting by disobeying the British orders. He also stated that he intended to create a feeling of terror throughout the state of Punjab. The incident made General Dyer a hero in the House of Lords, but he lost his popularity in the house of commons. Hope it helps. ....
