" a memorial to the victims called the flame of liberty was inaugurated in 1961"
The Amritsar Massacre occurred in 1919 in Amritsar, [[India]]. When the Indians formed a peaceful demonstration, a panicking British commander ordered his troops to fire on the protesters. He killed over four hundred people; the number of casualties caused by his soldiers remains uncalculated. The Indians were outraged and demanded independence from Britain.
