The Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place in Amritsar on Baisakhi in April 1919.
Under the direction of Colonel Reginald Dyer, the British Indian Army troops resorted to indiscriminate firing at a crowd of people holding a pro-independence demonstration.
Though the exact number of deaths remain debatable, many estimates put the figure at over a thousand.
