Answer 1

The massacre incident of Jallianwalla Bagh that occured in the city of Amritsar in the Punjab was pathetic and tragic. It is famous as the Jallianwalla Bagh Massacre. The day was the 13th April, 1919. It was the Hindu New Year’s Day or the day of the Baisakhi Festival. On that day in the afternoon thousands of people of Amritsar gathered at a place named Jallianwalla Bagh, situated in the city. They gathered there to celebrate the Baishakhi. There were men, women and children in the gathering.A day earlier, the Government had ordered that no meeting should be held in the city. But that order did not reach the people. Therefore, they gathered in large number without fear to take part in their traditional fair. Only a few minutes were left to sunset. Suddenly there appeared at the fate of Jallianwala Bagh an Englishman named General Dyer with his troops. That was the only gate of that enclosed Bagh or garden. There stood the General with his soldiers armed with guns. Dyer did not order the people to leave the place. He did not give them any time to think either. Without any warning, he ordered his soldiers to fire. The place was surrounded by high walls on all sides. It was possible for the people to climb the walls and escape. According to the official report prepared by the Government, the number of the lead was 379, and the number of the wounded, more than 1,000. But the public enquiry which was conducted at the direction of Mahatma Gandhi showed that 1,200 people were killed and 3,600 were wounded in that fateful evening at Jallianwala Bagh.As the tragic story of the massacre echoed round India, Gandhi was estimating the value of the British rule.
