About the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre occurred on April 13, 1919. A big throng assembled at the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab, to protest the Rowlatt Act and the arrests of pro-Indian activists Saifuddin Kitchlew and Satyapal.
In response to the public assembly, General REH Dyer ringed the crowd with Gurkha and Sikh military regiments. He then told them to shoot at the crowd until they ran out of ammunition, at which point they were told to cease. Thousands of people were killed or injured.
