2021-04-15 19:53:04 Jalianwala Bagh Massacre

British passed the Rowlatt Act to curb citizens' civil liberties. This infuriated people. Threat of militant revolutionary movements gaining momentum across India, especially in Punjab and Bengal.
As a precautionary measure Colonel Reginald Dyer passing a curfew in Amritsar.  Around 20,000 people had gathered at the garden peacefully to hear speeches condemning the Rowlatt Act and the recent arrests of two local leaders — Satya Pal and Saifuddin Kitchlew.

And with the day being Baisakhi — Sikh new year and a spring harvest festival — many of those gathered there were villagers who wereout to celebrate the festival, and were unaware of the curfew.
At around 4.30 p.m., General Dyer arrived along with 50 Indian and British riflemen, 40 Gurkhas, and two armoured cars. The armoured cars were left on the road outside the maidan, for, the entrance was too narrow to accommodate them.

The soldiers were ordered to open fire at the gathering without any prior warning. Of the two narrow entrances to the garden, one was blocked by the troops, and the other was locked. With nowhere to run, many jumped into the well that was located inside. 
According to witness reports, the firing lasted for about 20 minutes, with 1,650 rounds being fired. An official count estimated the death toll at 379, but experts say it could have been as high as 1,000, with 1,100 wounded. ओपन / कमेंट
