JALIANWALA BHAGH TRAGEDY: On 13th April, 1919, people from all parts of Punjab assembled at Jalianwala Bhagh at Amritsar. About 20,000 people gathered. General Dyer the Martial Law administrator, along with 150 soldiers, opened fire at the unarmed people. Hundreds of innocent people were killed. General Dyer shamelessly said that if he had more ammunition, he would have fired more rounds. The world was astonished. Instead of punishing him, the Parliament of the British praised him granted generous pension to him. This shock the confidence the people had on the fairness of British Justice. The Jalianwala Bhagh Tragedy was an important event of Pre-Gandhian Era, which set into motion the decline of the British Empire in India.
