The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre occurred on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, Punjab, when India was under British occupation. It was a brutal and heart-wrenching incident that sent shock waves across the country and was pivotal to India's struggle for freedom.

As was the custom to celebrate Baisakhi in Jallianwala Bagh, many Indians, males, females, and children included, had accumulated there to carry out a non-violent agitation against the British Rowlatt Act, allowing them to jail anyone without their being given trial. Without forewarning, the British officer, General Dyer, instructed the soldiers to block the gateways and fire bullets at the weaponless masses of people.

More than 1,000 individuals lost their lives and numerous others were wounded. The incident created an everlasting scar in Indians' hearts and brought the country together against British domination.

Today, Jallianwala Bagh serves as a monument to commemorate innocent lives that were lost. It reminds us of the sacrifices offered for the sake of India's freedom and peace and justice.

April 16th, Gandhi protested against the Jallianwallah Bagh massacre.
