On Sunday, April 13, 1919, the day of Baisakhi -- one of the largest festivals of the Sikh community -- a peaceful crowd gathered at the ceremonial ground from the nearby Golden Temple to celebrate.
As many as 90 British Indian Army soldiers, commanded by Colonel Reginald Dyer, opened fire at over 20,000 unarmed men, women and children without any warning or order to disperse the mob.
Dyer marched his men to a raised bank and ordered them to kneel and fire at the entire Jallianwala Bagh.
He ordered his soldiers to reload their rifles several times and they were ordered to shoot and kill.
He continued shooting, approximately 1650 rounds in all, until all ammunition was exhausted.
The number of deaths caused by the shooting is disputed. However, a plaque set up after independence in the monument at the sight states that 120 bodies were pulled out of the well.
Back in his headquarters, General Dyer reported to his superiors that he had been "confronted by a revolutionary army".
Upon the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre enquiry, Dyer declared that it was a necessary measure as Punjab, along with Bengal, was the hub of anti-British rebels and anti-empire movements and that the firing was "not to disperse the meeting but to punish the Indians for disobedience".
