Jallianwala Day Memorial Day Information: The day is remembered as the atrocious day of Indian history on which the brutal massacre happened in Jallianwala Bagh of the holy land of Guru Nanak, Amritsar. Jallianwala Bagh massacre of April 13, 1919 was the most inhuman act of the British rulers in India.
The massacre took place on Baisakhi which is considered New Year day of Sikhs and also a harvest festival. The people of Punjab gathered on the auspicious day of Baisakhi at Jallianwala Bagh, near Golden Temple at Amritsar, to lodge their protest peacefully against harassment by the British Indian Government.
General Dyer suddenly appeared with an army of 90 British Indian Army soldiers and ordered to fire on all the people including women and children.
There was hustle and bustle all around. Hundreds of people were killed not only by firing but a huge number of deaths happened by stampedes at the gates and felling into the well in the compound in an attempt to rescue and look for shelter from the firing.
Thousands were injured. General Dyer later admitted that he had gone to the Bagh with the premeditated intention of opening fire if he found a horde assembled there in front of Hunter commission.

Jallianwala Bagh Massacre – Was General Dyer made a Sikh?
Sounder Dilipan and Sanjay Dixit
Let us learn the history of Khalsa nobody told us. Tat Khalsa was deliberately revived to undermine the Sanatana Sikhs by the British, supported by creation of false narratives – when Ernest Trumpp refused to play ball, they inducted Max Arthur McAuliffe to rewrite Sikh history and traditions. The worst was when the head of Akal Takht, Giani Arur Singh, honored General Dyer, the butcher of Jallianwala Bagh, with a Siropa, and Kripan, made him an honorary Sikh and then instituted an Ardas ‘jug jug raj savaya topi wale da‘ (Topi wala meant the British – the sola top is under reference here). Khalsa College was made to run by the British and they produced the loyal Angrez Sikhs.
