April 13 marks the anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919, which took place during British rule. A peaceful crowd had assembled at Jallianwala Bagh to protest against the Rowlatt Act when British officer Reginald Dyer ordered his troops to open fire on the unarmed people. The massacre became a turning point in the freedom struggle and led Mahatma Gandhi to launch the Non-Cooperation Movement. The Hunter Commission was formed to inquire into the incident, but Dyer was not given strict punishment.
