On <em><u>April 13</u></em>, the traditional festival of <em><u>Baisakhi</u></em>, thousands of Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus gathered in the <em><u>Jallianwalla Bagh (garden</u></em>) near the Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar. An hour after the meeting began as scheduled at <em><u>4:30 pm</u></em>,
General <em><u>Dyer</u></em>--without warning the crowd to disperse-blocked the main exits. He explained later that this act "<em><u>was not to disperse the meeting but to punish the Indians for disobedience</u></em>." Dyer ordered his <em><u>troops</u></em> to begin <em><u>shooting</u></em> toward the densest sections of the crowd (including women and children). Firing continued for approximately ten minutes. Many people died in stampedes at the narrow gates or by jumping into the solitary well on the compound to escape the shooting. A plaque in the monument at the site, set up after independence, says that <em><u>120 bodies</u></em> were pulled out of the well. The wounded could not be moved from where they had fallen, as a curfew was declared; and many more died during the night.
On 13th April 1919 thousands of innocent Indians lost their lives at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab. The dead included women and children who were on the way back to their homes after visiting the Golden Temple.
