The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre remains a sombre reminder of the brutality of colonial rule and the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and justice. By uncovering the lesser-known facts, we honour the memory of the victims and reaffirm our commitment to never forget the lessons of history.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also recalled the sacrifices made by the people at Jallianwala Bagh.
On April 13, it has been 103 years since the horrific Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. Oftentimes, the incident has made it to the movies with Sardar Udham and Rang De Basanti being the prominent ones.
Hundreds of people protesting peacefully against the Rowlatt Acts, which granted the colonial administration repressive powers, were gunned down by British forces without any provocation in what became one of the most brutal turns in their occupation of India.
Udham Singh, who was a member of the revolutionist Ghadar party, shot Colonel Reginald Dyer on March 13, 1940 to avenge the massacre.
