Abstract

On the 13th of April 1919, General Dyer ordered his troops to stop the ongoing meeting of the people of Amritsar with his troops of 25 Gurkha, 25 Baluchis, and two armed cars. He ordered the firing on unarmed people without any warning, resulting in heavy casualties. Many academic works have been produced on both sides of the incident, namely India and Britain. The historiography of Jallianwala Bagh is highly influenced by politics. After this incident, the authors are still trying to find out who would be considered more responsible for this incident. Until now, however, available writings have only focused on the events, with little attention paid to the suffering of people who have faced British officials' brutality in the aftermath of the massacre. After the massacre, martial law was imposed on the inhabitants of Punjab.
