Jallianwala Bagh Massacre: This heart-wrenching event remains one of the darkest chapters in India’s colonial history. It served as a turning point in the Indian freedom struggle and united Indians across different regions and ideologies. On April 13, 1919, during the festival of Baisakhi, thousands of unarmed Indians, including women and children, had gathered at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar for a peaceful protest against the Rowlatt Act – a draconian law that allowed the British to imprison any Indian without trial. Without warning, General Reginald Dyer ordered his troops to open fire on the crowd. The only exit was blocked, and thousands of people were killed and many more injured in the 10 to 15 minute.
