Jallianwala Bagh
13 Apr 1919 — In a walled garden in Amritsar, Brigadier Dyer’s fifty rifles fire 1,650 rounds into an unarmed Baisakhi crowd until ammunition runs low. 379 dead by official count; Indian estimates near a thousand. The Raj’s claim to rule by consent dies here. Remember them.
This is one scene of Chapter 4 — Amritsar — The End of Consent in Indian Independence & Partition, 1905–1948.
