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.
