==Jallianwala Bagh Massacre==

==Jallianwala Bagh Massacre==

British Army officer Reginald Dyer had commanded his troops to the Bagh on April 13, 1919, located near the holiest Sikh shrine, the Golden temple. Peaceful protesters demanding an end to British rule were fired on without warning by Dyer's troops. Dyer's troops killed over 2,000 people. The Bagh was enclosed from all 4 sides with buildings, and had only one main entrance which was blocked by Dyer's troops. Other smaller gates were locked, thereby preventing people from fleeing the firing. Many people jumped to their death inside a well inside the garden. <ref>https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/last-survivor-of-jallianwala-bagh-massacre-dies/story-AN6Pv42ySCiqUZt7IHMRQP.html</ref>
