It was in the winter of this year, we decided to travel to a few places in north India.
We decided to visit the famous "Jallianawala Bagh" which is known throughout the world for the massacre that took place on 13th of April 1919.
Jallianawala Bagh is located in the Amritsar city of Punjab state.
Under the command of Colonel Reginald Dyer, the British Indian Army fired upon the crowd of Indians who had gathered for a meeting in the Jallianawala bagh.
On entering the garden, you will see the above stone which is a tribute to all the people that died on 13th of April 1919.
This is the place from where the people were fired upon.
Statues have been made of the British Indian Army men with those shrubs which depict how they were firing upon the people.
As it is written on the stone that the people tried to save themselves by jumping into the well and later 120 dead bodies were recovered from that well.
This is the martyr's well from where those 120 bodies were recovered.
This well is so deep that would have died oby only jumping into the well.
This wall is the witness of the incident as it bears marks of bullets fired.
There is a gallery of the people who died during that mass murder which also included some of the prominent national leaders.
This drawing shows the brutality of the incident as around 1000 people were killed.
The above picture shows one of the prominent national leaders who was killed that day.
