Jallianwala Bagh Massacre : “ DIRTIEST DAY ” AND THE " BLOODIEST" DAY OF THE INDIAN HISTORY

Jallianwala Bagh Massacre :  “ DIRTIEST DAY ” OF THE INDIAN HISTORY

Never would one see the incident that the outsiders had spelt on India by accruing their most heinous and the dirty mind that one could call it for
It was April 13^th , 1919 and 102 years have seen the LIGHT of the days since then.I do not know what amount of water did flow under the bridge since then but that “ ONE” incident and it’s thought still lingers .
Brutality has some means ans some boundaries. In the case of the cannibals too they believe in a set principle of brutality to kill their prey and gulp it. However when it comes to the human beings all the HELL are let loose and that happened on that fateful and FRIGHTFUL day of the BAISAKHI .
Reason For Why This Dreadful And Painful “ CIDE ” Was Caused By Britishers
The Britishers completely took over the rein of this country in 1857.They then noticed  that the entire economy of this nation HINGED on the COWS and the MILK beside         “ AGRICULTURE” was the BACKBONE of the econmy.
They realized FAST that if Indian and the Indians have to be BROKEN then the COWS, MILK and the AGRICULTURE ought to be completely smashed and destructed and the first thing that the Britishers did was the  “ THEORY of COW-CASH ’’
What was this Cow-cash that one would ask me. Well, it was that the COWS were killed by the Britishers. Between 1917 to 1918 India did faced the PLAGUE that was caused by the rats. This had caused many a human death at India in which mnay of the Britishers were dead. Fearing that many would take place the Britishers spread a CANARD that the Indian mammals and the cannibals were inflicted and infected with a kind of disease that spreads virus and the disease.
They made it compulsory to get all the cows, buffaloes, Ox, Bulls, Goats, Sheep to get then vaccinated.In the pretext of vaccinating them, the Britishers injected a kind of a SLOW-POISONOUS vaccine that killed the cows and the other milk producing herbivorous that I have mentioned here .
The Indian economy and the agriculture took a huge beating . However this did not stop the Britishers at all. They imposed a HEAVY ta vie the “ LAGAAN ”, ie the TAX  on the agriculturists and the farmers which took away their toll and broke their backbone . Against this PUNJAB in 1919 produced a kind of a record that it was NEVER and it NEVER did re-occur in the annals of the Indian history in the field of agriculture again. The kind of grains that they produced it was ENOUGH for India to be fed for another THREE years to come.
Baishaki : Celebration turned into “ DEADLY- ABBERRATION ”
To celebrate this great HUGE achievement and to make it a GREAT occasion, the Punajbis, all residing at Jallianwalla decided to meet at the ground to lit the fire and celebrate the “ LOHRI ”
The HIGH melting point that the Britishers could not adjust to it’s HEAT was the distribution that the Punjabi ladies and the effort that they contributed to make the agriculture so BUMPIOUS that they were especially invited by the males that was conducting this events and all the ladies in numbers turned up at the ground where they wanted to celebrate this event on that Baishaki day.
This was something which thte Britishers could not DIGEST and the General of the British Army stationed at Punjab Mr Gen O’Dyrers took a decision to TEACH these Punjabis a lesson > It is said that he had LAMENTED to the Indian Viceroy then, Mr Fredrik Theisieger , that he would TEACH these BLOODY Indians a BLOODY lesson and what the entire world got to see that the BLOODIEST of the BLOODY incident that shooked the entire SOUL of the WORLD then and the Indians as well .

Jallianwala Bagh Massacre : Day Dream Of General “ Dyer” picturised into Reality

This happened at Amritsar and hence it is known as Massacre of Amritsar,  and the incident on April 13, 1919, in which British troops fired on a large crowd of unarmed Indians in an open space known as the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar in the Punjab region (now in Punjab state) of India, killing several hundred people and wounding many hundreds more.
The Indian modern history got a new leaf and a new page out of the same and a turning point in the annals of the Indian history too scripted a loofing note out of it. In one sense and in that  manner it left a permanent scar on Indo-British relations and it opened a DREAM for it’s cause for Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi as he was the prelude to  his  full commitment to the cause of Indian nationalism and independence from Britain.
World War I (1914–18) : Enactment of “ REPRESSIVE EMERGENCY ”
 Talk of the time and you cannot forget the World War which was fought between 1914 to 1918 and the British government of India enacted a series of repressive emergency powers that were intended to combat subversive activities.  The Indian shed their blood for the Britishers and the Indian Army fought like a TIGER with TOOTH and CLAW to not only scratch the opponent of the Britishers but also they DUG the GRAVE of their adversities to the extreme dead end of the earth to earmark a landslide victory for the Britishers .Hence the expectations of the Indians from the Britishers were high.  
By the war’s end, expectations were high among the Indian populace that those measures would be eased and that India would be given more political autonomy. The Montagu-Chelmsford Report, presented to the British Parliament in 1918, did in fact recommend limited local self-government. Instead, however, the government of India passed what became known as the Rowlatt Acts in early 1919, which essentially extended the repressive wartime measures. This was to upset the Indians and the Indians became restless and inactive to dance to the tune and the HIGH-TONE of the Britishers

Rowlatt Act :: Anger and Discontentment rose to it’s limity

Never during that time the people of India saw the kind of anger that erosed amongst the Punjabis.There at the World war about 300 plus of the Punjabis Solders and about 87 of the Gurkhas had been killed and here the Britishers by implyimg the Rowlatt Act actually had DRAGERRED the Indians and their hopes to the                      “ NOUGHT”

The acts were met by widespread anger and discontent among Indians, notably in the Punjab region. Gandhi in early April called for a one-day general strike throughout the country. The Britishers to nullify the event went on to spread some Canards and one of them was the IMPRISONMENT of several Indian leaders .
In Amritsar the news that prominent Indian leaders had been arrested and banished from that city sparked violent protests on April 10, in which soldiers fired upon civilians, buildings were looted and burned, and angry mobs killed several foreign nationals and severely beat a Christian missionary. A force of several dozen troops commanded by Brig. Gen. Reginald Edward Harry Dyer was given the task of restoring order. Among the measures taken was a ban on public gatherings.
April 13^th : Unluck for " Apollo 13 "  and Unluck for " Baisakhi "  

 On the afternoon of April 13, a crowd of at least 10,000 men, women, and children gathered in the Jallianwala Bagh, which was nearly completely enclosed by walls and had only one exit. It is not clear how many people there were protesters who were defying the ban on public meetings and how many had come to the city from the surrounding region to celebrate Baisakhi, a spring festival. Dyer and his soldiers arrived and sealed off the exit. Without warning, the troops opened fire on the crowd, reportedly shooting hundreds of rounds until they ran out of ammunition.

A record from the files of the British and it’s history says that about 1600 bullets were pumped in terms of firing to kill the Indians .  It is not certain how many died in the bloodbath, but, according to one official report, an estimated 379 people were killed, and about 1,200 more were wounded. After they ceased firing, the troops immediately withdrew from the place, leaving behind the dead and wounded.
Not Enough , General Dyer Inflicted Public Flogging

 The shooting was followed by the proclamation of martial law in the Punjab that included public floggings and other humiliations. Indian outrage grew as news of the shooting and subsequent British actions spread throughout the subcontinent.

Indian Action : Rabindranath Tagore “ RENOUNCES ”  the KNIGHTHOOD

 The Bengali poet and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore renounced the knighthood that he had received in 1915. Gandhi was initially hesitant to act, but he soon began organizing his first large-scale and sustained nonviolent protest (satyagraha) campaign, the noncooperation movement (1920–22), which thrust him to prominence in the Indian nationalist struggle.

Here in this picture ONE could see Mr Albert Einstein meeting Mr Rabindranath Tagore to convince him to rverse his decision to take back the    " NOBEL PRIZE" that was conferred to him courtesy the Britishers

The government of India ordered an investigation of the incident (the Hunter Commission), which in 1920 censured Dyer for his actions and ordered him to resign from the military. Reaction in Britain to the massacre was mixed, however. Many condemned Dyer’s actions—including Sir Winston Churchill, then secretary of war, in a speech to the House of Commons in 1920—but the House of Lords praised Dyer and gave him a sword inscribed with the motto “Saviour of the Punjab.” In addition, a large fund was raised by Dyer’s sympathizers and presented to him.

Udham Singh “ RESTORES” The Parity For India

The many a kind of award and the many a kind of  accolades accorded to Gen Dyers  at London and Britain BOILED the entire state of Punjab like a HARD-BOILED Chocolate.

A 22 Years of age Udham Singh a Pre-Final Engineering student during that time gave away his studies and collecting his money through “ BEG-AND-BOWL ” set for London to kill Gen Dyer . He was successful in shooting him from the POINT-BLANK region but he was trapped and then sent to the gallows which ended his life .

 A 22 years of age an Engineering student then- FEW who could pass the Engineering exams during those days and few who could afford that studies gave away his LIFE for the CAUSE of MOTHERLAND and to AVENGE his REVENGE as he had said during his trials at Britain is also GLUED always to the history of JALLIANWALLA

The Jallianwala Bagh site in Amritsar is now a national monument.
