Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders paid tribute to the Jallianwala Bagh martyrs on the 105th anniversary of the genocide, honoring their sacrifice as a turning point in India's struggle for independence. The massacre, which took place on April 13, 1919, is one of India's darkest episodes in colonial history.
 
Key Highlights:
  • PM Modi’s Tribute: In a heartfelt post on X, PM Modi described the massacre as a "dark chapter" and a "major turning point" in India's fight for independence. He emphasized the indomitable spirit of the martyrs and their lasting impact on future generations.
  • Other Leaders' Tribute: Union Home Minister Amit Shah and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar also paid respects, underlining the savagery of British rule and the bravery of the victims.
  • Historical Background: The massacre occurred in Amritsar, Punjab, as thousands of people amassed at Jallianwala Bagh during the Baisakhi festival protesting against the Rowlatt Act. British troops, commanded by Brigadier General Reginald Dyer, fired on the unarmed people, killing hundreds.
  • Legacy: The act outraged people throughout and strengthened the Indian struggle for freedom. Today, the area is a memorial dedicated to remembering the martyrs and their offering.
