Jallianwala Bagh Massacre: Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, also known as Amritsar Massacre. The incident occurred on April 13, 1919, when acting Brigadier General Dyer ordered British troops to open fire on the crowd. The Yaad-e-Jallian Museum was inaugurated, displaying authentic documents about the massacre in March 2019.
The public gathered on April 13, 1919 to celebrate Baisakhi. People gathered at Jallianwala Bagh to discuss two resolutions, one condemning the April 10 shootings and one asking the government to release their leaders. When the news reached Brigadier Dyer, he and his troops advanced to the Bagh. He and his troops entered Jallianwala Bagh and ordered them to open fire without giving any warning. As a result, everyone headed towards the exit, but Dyer ordered his soldiers to fire at the exit. For about 10-15 minutes the fire continued to burn. About 1650 rounds were fired. On this day, let’s look at some inspirational quotes and slogans of freedom fighters.
Let’s go through a few tweets to understand the significance of this event for the Indian diaspora:
