ONE hundred and four years ago on April 13 1919, the British army murdered many hundreds of peaceful demonstrators who had gathered at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar to protest against repressive laws and arbitrary arrests of independence activists.
The troops had bottled thousands of people in a dead end so that they could not escape, before they were mercilessly gunned down.
Without any warning or provocation, Brigadier General Reginald Dyer ordered his troops to fire indiscriminately at the unarmed and defenceless crowd, killing hundreds and injuring thousands.
