1919 on a Sunday afternoon a violent and bloody event took place. This event was said to be the reason for the Indian liberation and the end of the British power in India.
Three days before this massacre the city of bunjab was in a total chaos: banks were getting looted, public buildings were burned, three Europeans was killed, and a British women was horrifyingly beaten. So, the British send General Reginald Dyer to restore order in the city. The general published a punishment in which all Indians traversing that street where the British woman was attacked had to crawl on their hands and knees.
Three days after this punishment. Though that the British force announced that all public meetings are banned and any public meeting will be dispersed…show more content… On the other hand, some of the people, including the House of Commons saw it as a unnecessary massacre.
What happened that day wasn’t just a story that you just read. It’s an amazing example of what happens when the freedom refuses to stay under the oppressing military invasion, and of course who will that be faced from the military.
A lot of people argue that what happened that day could been avoided easily if general just gave a warning. Because a lot of people argue that most of the protesters wasn’t informed about this new law. If we come and take a look at the communication methods that was available at the time will strongly support that one of the most causes of what happened that day was because of the lake of communication.
As we all know most of the protestors that day were coming from the villages and the near cities and by that time people didn’t use to have all the media and communications method that we have now days.
On the other hand some people argue that what was done by General Reginald Dyer was very important, he had to make a…show more content… By that time the British Empire, especially the British army had just came out of a big war in which they lost a lot of power. Most of the soldiers and army leaders was physically, mentally and psychologically damaged. They were under a lot of pressure, the British Empire was trying its best to show their power, to show that they are still strong and that they are still in control of their huge colonies.
Because of that some people argue that day had to be done. But I have a question for them how do a military show their power when you get rid of all your human ethics and your military ethics. How do you make a statement when you kill hundreds of unarmed men, women, children and infants?
Some people say that if General Reginald Dyer intention was really to just make a statement that day he could just shoot for 2 min and killed 1 or 2 or even 10 not hundreds.
When you read the whole history and read the general history and his soldiers. You find it hard and interesting to understand what happened on that
