Question
Answer the following question briefly
In the context of the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy, answer the following:
Why was a public meeting held in Jallianwala Bagh on 13 April 1919?
Solution
The British government adopted the policy of repression to crush the anti-British movement against the repressive Rowlatt Act passed by the government in 1919. In some places, particularly in Punjab, the hartals led to violence. Two popular nationalist leaders were arrested in Amritsar. To protest against the arrest of their leaders, a public meeting was held on 13 April 1919 in an enclosed space known as Jallianwala Bagh. General Dyer surrounded the Bagh with his troops, blocked the only exit, and ordered the troops to open fire on the peaceful gathering in the Bagh.
