what were the findings of the hunter commission ?
Answers
Answer:
The Indian members added to these findings, the following observations:
Orders prohibiting public meetings had not been sufficiently circulated in Punjab in general and in Amritsar in particular which could have prevented the Jallianwalla Bagh Massacre.
Innocent people formed the crowd at Jallianwalla Bagh and there was no violence before the massacre.
Dyer should have ordered troops to help the wounded people or informed civilian authorities to arrange aid. His actions were condemned as inhuman and greatly damaged the image of the British in India.
The Hunter Commission report was important in the context that its findings paved the way for public opinion in both Britain and India gradually turning against British rule in India. In particular, General Dyer was relieved of command and officially rebuked by the House of Commons of the UK based on his actions and statements during the massacre and afterwards.
The Hunter Commission report findings were also instrumental in the development of the use of minimum force in crowd control worldwide.
Due to the impact of the Jallianwalla Bagh massacre on the freedom movement and the scale of brutality shown by the British Indian Army troops, the Hunter Commission of 1920 is an important part of the static syllabus on History of the Freedom Movement for Prelims and General Studies for IAS Mains.
2019 being the centenary year of the tragedy at Jallianwalla, the Government of India has decided to mark the remembrance of the people killed in the Amritsar Massacre. This means that the Amritsar Massacre and the Hunter Commission is also part of the dynamic syllabus of UPSC 2020 exam and questions from this concept could be asked in Current Affairs for IAS.
