The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in Amritsar took place on 13 April 1919. On that day thousands of Indians gathered to protest against the restriction of certain civil liberties. An hour after the meeting began as scheduled to begin, at 4:30 p.m., Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer marched a group of 90 Gurkha soldiers, carrying machine guns, to confront the protesters and disperse them. Dyer ordered his troops to fire on the crowd and the firing continued until the soldiers ran out of ammunition. According to official figures, 379 people were killed (337 men, 41 boys and a six-week-old baby) and 200 injured. According to the Indian National Congress, which conducted its own enquiry, the casualty figure was over 1,500 with 1,000 dead
Some senior British officers applauded Dyer's suppression of "another Indian Mutiny". The House of Lords passed a measure commending him. The House of Commons, however, censured him; in the debate, Winston Churchill claimed: "The incident in Jallianwalla Bagh was an extraordinary event, a monstrous event, an event which stands in singular and sinister isolation". Dyer's action was condemned worldwide. He was officially censured by the British Government and resigned in 1920.
Dyer, who after the incident was relieved of his command and returned to England, died in 1927.
The only person to be "penalised" for the massacre was the British Lietenant-Governor of Punjab, Sir Michael O'Dwyer. After being informed of the massacre and that Dyer "had confronted a revolutionary army, O'Dwyer sent a telegraph to Dyer: "Your action is correct. Lieutenant-Governor approves"
On March, 13, 1940, at Caxton Hall in London, Udham Singh, an Indian revolutionary from Sunam who had witnessed the events in Amritsar and was himself wounded, shot and killed O'Dwyer.
The reason relations were strained was because of the Amritsar incident.
It made many of them angry and want to kill the culprit. But some fought for their independence after the even.
It was a genocide. It was a killing of UNARMED ordinary Indians. To throw some <still lve> bodies in the well... its unthinkable. A brit. journalist sent a tegramme to UK...its the end of British colonialism.
hundreds of protesting Indians were shot by british troops.
Gandhi felt so sorry. He prayed for the lost lives, Yet he was against armed upring. He sticked to his non-violance agenda.

The Amritsar Massacre developed out of protests against the Rowlatt Act (a series of laws which allowed the British to imprison Indians without trial, and allowed the British to suppress certain news stories from being reported in newspapers.) The Amritsar Massacre lasted for about ten minutes, in which time 1650 rounds of ammunition were fired upon a gathering of unarmed men, women and children who were peacefully protesting the Rowlatt Act. Over 1000 people were killed, and 2000 wounded. Winston Churchill said of the event that "The Indians were packed together so that one bullet would drive through three or four bodies". To answer your question, such brutality and suppression turned millions of moderate Indians from supporters of the British Raj into nationalists who would never again trust the British.
