===Doji Bara Famine of 1791 to 1792===

The Famine caused widespread mortality in the areas of Hyderabad, the Maratha Kingdom, Deccan, Gujarat, and Marwar(Rajasthan). The British policy of diverting food supplies to Europe, and pricing out the leftover grain out of reach of Indians as well as adopting agricultural policies that destroyed food production was responsible for the Famine. The British had surplus grains which was not distributed to the people who grew it. Due to this, from 1789-1792, 11 million people died of starvation and accompanying epidemics that followed.

==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>
