Jallianwala Bagh
“The walled garden in Amritsar where British troops fired on an unarmed crowd on 13 April 1919.”
A place with a memory.
On Baisakhi day, 13 April 1919, thousands of men, women, and children gathered peacefully in Jallianwala Bagh to protest the arrest of national leaders under the Rowlatt Act. Acting Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer deployed troops to seal the only narrow passage out of the garden and ordered continuous firing without giving an order to disperse.
