The massacre at Jhalianwala Bagh


The massacre at Jhalianwala Bagh

Jhallianwala Bagh is another pilgrimage site for the Indians. It was here on 13th April 1919, more than 1,000 people were murdered and many more wounded by the bullets fired as per the orders of the British imperialists to stop a meeting being held there to protest the arrests of popular leaders of the independence movement.  The firing was pre-planned and intended to kill the protesters.
Every year  functions are held at the Jallianwala Bagh maidan where the memorial to the martyrs have been constructed.  It was a poignant moment when all the people stood up at the exact time when the firing and killing took place.
Revolutionary Homage to the memory of all those who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the country!
