The Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place on 13 April 1919 ( on the day of Baisakhi ) in Jallianwala Bagh near the Golden Temple in Amritsar , Punjab province, India . A meeting was being held to protest against the Rowlatt Act, in which a British officer named General Dyer , without any reason, opened fire on the crowd present in that meeting, in which more than 400 people died and more than 2000 were injured. The Deputy Commissioner’s office in Amritsar lists 484 martyrs, while Jallianwala Bagh lists a total of 388 martyrs. Records of the British Raj acknowledge that 200 people were injured and 379 people were martyred in this incident, of whom 337 were men, 41 minor boys and a 6-week-old baby. According to unofficial figures, more than 1500 people were killed and more than 2000 were injured.
If any one incident had the greatest impact on the Indian freedom struggle, then that incident was this heinous massacre. It is believed that this incident marked the beginning of the end of British rule in India. In 1997, Queen Elizabeth paid tribute to the dead at this memorial. In 2013, British Prime Minister David Cameron also visited this memorial. In the visitors’ book he wrote that “this was a shameful event in British history.” | जलियाँवाला बाग हत्याकांड
