Amritsar: “I have decided this time to visit Jallianwala
Bagh where many Indian lost there life to a wrong decision by a British
General. I want to pay my tribute and my respect to all those who fought for
the independence” said Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah Studios during his
visit to Amritsar.
Jallianwala Bagh is a public garden in Amritsar
in the Punjab state of India, and houses a
memorial of national importance, established in 1951 by the Government of
India, to commemorate the massacre of peaceful celebrators including unarmed
women and children by British occupying forces, on the occasion of the Punjabi
New Year on April 13, 1919 in the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.
Colonial British Raj
sources identified 379 fatalities and estimated about 1100 wounded. Civil
Surgeon Dr. Smith indicated that there were 1,526 casualties. The true figures of fatalities are
unknown, but are likely to be many times higher than the official figure
of 379.
