Correct Answer - Option 1 : Amristar

The correct answer is Amristar

  • Jallianwala Bagh Massacre (13TH APRIL, 1919) in Punjab Amritsar.
    • ​Reason: After Rowlatt satyagraha got huge support in Punjab.
    • The Government handed over the administration to the military authorities under General Dyer to suppress this violent situation ongoing.
    • Political leaders were detained and all public meetings were banned by General Dyer.
    • Being unaware of the prohibitory orders in the city, a large crowd had gathered on a Baisakhi Day in this small park to protest against the arrest of their leaders Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew and Dr Satyapal.
    • Under orders from General Dyer, the gathering was surrounded by the army, they blocked the only exit point and opened fire on the unarmed crowd.
    • A large number of people lost their lives.

  • This resulted in a nationwide protest against this massacre and Rabindranath Tagore renounced his knighthood as a protest.
  • M.K Gandhi was overwhelmed by the atmosphere of violence and withdrew from the Rowlatt Satyagraha movement on April 18, 1919.

  •  Importance of the Year 1919:
    • In the history of British India, the year 1919 constitutes an important landmark.
    • Jallianwala Bagh Massacre is the output of the Rowlatt Act and the reign of terror in Punjab.
    • M.K Gandhi emerged as a prominent leader.
