The Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar during the Baisakhi festival in April 1919 when troops of the British Indian Army under the command of Colonel Dyer opened fire at a crowd of people holding a pro-independence demonstration, leaving several dead and scores injured. They fired for 10 minutes, discharging 1,650 bullets at the peaceful protesters in Jallianwala Bagh, who stood less than 150 feet away from their .303 rifles. Official accounts put the death toll at 379, but unofficial estimates say twice as many people died.
A hundred years on, the massacre continues to inspire revulsion, even in the UK.
