Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, India, is a historic site that commemorates a tragic event in Indian history. On April 13, 1919, British troops under the command of General Reginald Dyer opened fire on a large, unarmed gathering of men, women, and children who were peacefully protesting against the repressive Rowlatt Act. The massacre resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people and left many more injured. This brutal incident is considered a pivotal moment in the Indian independence movement, galvanizing widespread outrage and resistance against British colonial rule.
