Jallianwala Bagh tragedy occurred on the 13th of April, 1919, at Amritsar in the state of Punjab. On this day, a large crowd of people had assembled at Jallianwala Bagh to celebrate Baisakhi and express their dissent against the Rowlatt Act. Brigadier General Reginald Dyer, who led the British army, opened fire at the innocent crowd without any prior intimation. This tragic incident came to be known as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a landmark in the freedom struggle of India against the British.
