Causes Of Jallianwala Bagh :-

On 10 April 1919:

➪ A protest was held at the residence of the Deputy Commissioner of Amritsar to demand the release of two popular leaders of the Indian Independence Movement, Satya Pal and Saifuddin Kitchlew.

➪ A military picket shot at the crowd, killing several protesters and setting off a series of violent events.

• There was retaliatory shooting at crowds from the military several times during the day, and between eight and twenty people were killed.

On 11 April 1919:

➪ Incident with an English Missionary teacher:

Miss Marcella Sherwood. Fearing for the safety of her pupils, she was on her way to shut the schools and send the roughly 600 Indian children home.

➪ While cycling through a narrow street called the Kucha Kurrichhan, she is said to have been caught by a mob, pulled to the ground by her hair, stripped naked, beaten, kicked, and left for dead.

➪ She was rescued by some local Indians, including the father of one of her pupils, who hid her from the mob and then smuggled her to the safety of Gobindgarh fort.

➪ After visiting Sherwood, the Raj's local commander, Colonel Dyer,issued an order requiring every Indian man using that street to crawl its length on his hands and knees. Colonel Dyer later explained to a British inspector: "Some Indians crawl face downwards in front of their gods. I wanted them to know that a British woman is as sacred as a Hindu god and therefore they have to crawl in front of her, too."

➪ Dyer also authorised the indiscriminate, public whipping of locals who came within lathi length of British policemen. Miss Marcella Sherwood later defended Colonel Dyer, describing him "as the 'saviour' of the Punjab".
