Jallianwala Bagh Massacre: The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, also known as the Massacre of Amritsar. The incident took place on April 13, 1919, when the acting Brigadier-General Dyer ordered the British army to open fire on a crowd. The Yaad-e-Jallian Museum was inaugurated, showcasing an authentic account of the massacre in March 2019.
The public gathered on April 13, 1919, to celebrate Baisakhi. People gathered at Jallianwala Bagh to discuss two resolutions, namely one condemning the firing on April 10 and the other requesting the authorities to release their leaders. When the news reached Brigadier-General Dyer, he headed to the Bagh with his troops. He and his troops entered the Jallianwala Bagh and ordered them to open fire without giving any warning. As a result, people went towards the exit, but Dyer ordered his soldiers to fire at the exit. For around 10-15 minutes, the fire continued. Around 1650 rounds were fired. On this day, take a look at some inspirational sayings and slogans of freedom fighters.
Let's scroll through some tweets to understand the importance of the event for Indian diaspora:
