Oh, you mean we're gonna react to one 100 years of July and walla bug How the massacre unfolded 100 years ago the Jolly and water bug massive massacre Shrug the conscience of the nation, but what were the circumstances that led to this tragedy? I think that's the massacre we learned about in America is this a hundred years ago. So that would have been yeah Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah Where we walked by I think so I could be wrong News 18 travels to Amritsar. Yes, it is we were gonna go in there It was closed yeah to tell retell the story of the killings that marked the beginning of the end of the British Empire Okay, so I believe this is what our friend in Amritsar helped us out with when we were walking to The Golden Temple and we were supposed to get in there, but it was closed that day Yes, like he told us about it So we know a little bit, but this is a documentary going more into the awful event and I do really told us I do believe we saw one thing that touched on this a while back And I do think I remember hearing about this many many years ago, but I'm sure this is going to give details Way more than we've ever seen. Here we go On a hot every evening in Punjab A British general orders his troops to fire upon Indians gathered at an open park in Amritsar city He does not give any warning. So people scramble here There they they try and you know, there's no hiding place in the bar. It's totally a barren land So they fall into the well while running. They're trying to come below the walls where they're shot All the eyewitness accounts are so dreadful. I mean, I I really found it difficult to read some of them because it was It's so awful what he did So we understand how this came to pass Let's rewind the clock and go back a month or so to march 1919 The first world war had ended and Punjab was under the oppressive regime of this man Lieutenant Governor Michael O'Dwyer On the 10th of March the British passed a new law called the round attack Anger among Indians comes to a boiling point In India the round attack is referred to as the black act They could be arrested Without on suspicion Captain jail without trial for two years and there was no appeal against that. That means that's why they This popular name for them Na the leel na wakil na api and that is the time when Gandhi appears on the scene And Gandhi brings with him It becomes his first really major successful subject and what is very interesting Is that most of the most successful Satya were ever to be held are in cities of Punjab By the end of the month the wildfire called Gandhi had spread all over India Amrit sir was not aloof Within a week two local leaders dr. Saifuddin Kichlu and dr. Satya pal had organized two successful heartals in the city And 9th April was around nominating a very A traditional Hindu festival Normally it would the procession would be taken by the Hindus But for the first time we see that Muslims also joins this procession. Everybody who participated came from different communities This is very much a Hindu Muslim Sikh Even Christian story for the British whenever the people large number of people the crowds are on the street They are always reminded of 1857 and this was even more frightening for the people there for the people who are ruling India at that time Because they could not I mean all their efforts to divide and rule seem to be failing in front of their eyes The Hindu-Muslim unity had frightened the British and the administration of lieutenant governor O'Dwaya had decided Satya pal and Kichlu have to be arrested and kept secretly in Dharm Shala So Satya pal and Kichlu When they are called to the DC's house on the 10th of April They go there Very peacefully expecting that they can have a discussion and dialogue with the DC Irving Who is by the way who has just about arrived in Amritsar is extremely nervous against seeing all these crowds And he arrests them as well. And this arrest by trickery takes a back the people who are already they are actually In the process of doing the satya prayer So the followers as usual they collected together and went with the Faryat To the deputy commissioner that he released our leaders. There was you can say confrontation between the The crowd and the police and They were fired and around 20 people died hundreds and thousands of people were on the streets And those who were coming back. They were so angry that they also then sat looted Burnt British buildings the turning point came during the rioting on the 10th of April Five British officers were killed and Marcella Sherwood A British teacher and missionary was accosted and assaulted in a street This brings down the ire the anger the brutality Of the entire British large whatever representatives they have in Amritsar upon the people of Amritsar And there is now no going back This street would later come to be known by different names such as crawling lane and Koryo Valigali We have a bunch of old people who have never been killed They have been killed and they have been killed and they have been killed They have been killed and they have been killed This is the crime The British were there They were in the middle of the world They were in a small school They were not taking paper They were not taking paper, they were throwing it The 11th of April is the day of mourning for the city. On the morning of 11th, the permission was taken and after repeated requests, the local government allowed the people to dispose of the dead bodies. But things were about to get a lot worse. In the evening, Brigadier General Reginald Dyer is brought in from Jalandhar to control the situation in our red surf. So Dyer is somebody who's lived in India, who was born in India. He has, speaks fluent Urdu, Hindustani, he understands, actually he's a very good rapport with his soldiers. But when it comes to this particular incident, it seems that he was actually quite prepared to teach them a lesson they would never forget. The next day, Dyer takes a round of the city and makes a series of proclamations. They were made mostly in places where poor people lived, where Kashmiris lived. Half of the city in fact was left as such. And one more thing I would like to add that even the posters that 144 has been imposed on in Amritsar was not even posted on the wall of Jalaya Malabal, where usually public meetings were held. There is a palpable tension in the air, thousands gather in the walled city and make their way into the Jalaya Malabal. Some are here to demand the release of Kichlu and Satyamal. Some are looking for a place to relax after offering Baisa Ki Prayers at the Golden Temple. Lots of people define the curfew Reed General Dyer, who is stationed at Rambagh. He leaves with two armored vehicles and rides to the Jalaya Malabal, a distance of about 1.7 km. The entrance to the barge is too narrow and it is impossible for his armored vehicles to go through, so he disembarks and leads his troops on foot. Around 4.30 pm, General Dyer, along with 90 soldiers, takes position at the main entry and exit point of the barge. He says later that if the lane had been wide enough, he would have taken the armored vehicles and just shot at the people with the armored vehicles as well. I mean, so this is the callousness of the man. He goes in, he takes troops from Baluchi, who are Baluchi's and Gurkha's, so that you know they further, they are far removed from the people of Punjab and do not really have any kind of sympathy I would not have. The shooting lasts only around 11 minutes, there is nowhere for people to run. British figures put to death around 300. The Indian National Congress claimed around 1500 people lost their lives. In fact, there were very small 3-4 exits, what we call small narrow gullies, so people can't even think of reaching. Lala Hari Rampal was at the bar on the day of the massacre. He was shot twice and managed to escape the barge, but he couldn't reach the hospital on time and bled to death on the street. A hundred years later, his grandson Mahesh Paheli says they are fighting to get martyr status for the victims of the massacre. Reginald Dyer will go down in history as the butcher of Amritsar. Reginald General Dyer, as he was known at that time, came with a mission, but he was not actually involved in the grander plans of oppression which were unleashed on Punjab by the left-wing governor, Oad Dyer. A back home in England, Dyer was a hero, I mean people thought he saved Britain. The days following the massacres of martial law being imposed in the city of Amritsar, Indians were asked to salam every white person that they saw on the streets. Reginald Dyer, faced an inquiry by the Hunter Commission and was eventually asked to step down from the army, but his supporters raised 26,000 pounds so that he could live the rest of his life in Gumpfurt. Meanwhile, the families of the Indian victims were given 500 rupees by the governor. But the Jalyawala Bagh massacre also marked the beginning of the end of the British Empire. It was after this massacre that Ravind Nath Kegore returned his knighthood and a year later Mahatma Gandhi gave the clarion call for the non-cooperation movement. When we look back at the last 100 years, Jalyawala Bagh stands out as a symbol of defiance by a people who refuse to be second class citizens in their own country. Speaker, the tragedy of Jalyawala Bagh in 1919 is a shameful scar on British Indian history. As Her Majesty the Queen said before visiting Jalyawala Bagh in 1997, it is a distressing example of our past history with India. We deeply regret what happened and the suffering caused. I'm pleased that today the UK-India relationship is one of collaboration, partnership, prosperity and security. India and diaspora make an enormous contribution to British society. And I'm sure the whole house wishes to see the UK's relationship with India continue to flourish. Done, peace. Very well done. I'm hoping it is. You guys can tell us for sure. Yeah, I mean just from the vantage point of the editing, the storytelling, the visuals, the animation. Yeah, it was really well done. What an awful event. Evil. It's like some of the stuff that Hitler carried out, type evil. Like the fact that he just brought people into a room and they thought they were getting, I think, a bath and gassed them to death. It's that evil. Yeah. And then to add insult to injury, that guy gets to live the rest of his days in luxury and you give the people, families whose people died 500 rupees. Yeah, why wouldn't, why in the world has India not given martyr status to the people that died there? You know, at least just in title, it should be, that seems like a no-brainer to me. Is there a lot of awful events that have happened in Emirates, are? Because that thing from the Punjab 1984? Yeah, Punjab 1984. And then obviously they're known for their warriors and they've had a lot of history. Has there just been a lot of stuff that's happened? Yeah, that one's unconscionable. Yeah, like it's, can you even, like, what would possess a person to do that? Possession, that's the word. Yeah. But then all these other people had to have no conscience at all. I know who were part of it. Yeah, I know. It's one, like, you know, you're obviously in the military, you have to follow his orders, but really? Like, at what point? Right. Like, seriously? You'd like to think that, you know, if you were in the military and someone's telling you to do an evil act, you'd be like, no. You would hope. You would hope. But yeah, I mean, going back to what happened with the Nazis, I mean, it's blind bigotry has produced some of the most atrocious happenings of one human to another human being, whether it was this, or it was the Holocaust, or it was the lynching of black people in America and the treatment of the slaves, all stems from bigotry in some form or another. Yeah. And it's just, there is, you said it, there's no other, there's only two reasons for it and they're linked. One is just plain evil, and the second is a motivation to simply rule, and that's one of the reasons rulers want their people to be divided, because when the people are unified, the rulers can't rule unless the people allow them to. So as long as you can get the people divided, and you know, oh, heaven forbid, the Hindus and the Muslims and the Sikhs and the Christians should all get together unified, that would strike fear in the heart of Britain. They want them fighting each other, because then they can go in and they can quell it and say, we're ruling you, you have to stop now. But when they're all together, that's why a lot of people in the South and in the North during the Civil War, they started to realize if the slaves wanted to, they outnumber us, if they wanted to unify and arm themselves, they could do it, and they started to panic. Yeah, it's just evil, just, I wish we were able to actually go in and, yeah, it was, we were really disappointed, as was he, it just was the one day they were closed and cleaning the place, and that was the only day we had an Amritsar, but I remember that sculpture that was right outside the door, I put my hands on that thing. Yeah, we had a very short time in Bongchon, which is where I sat. It's a beautiful country, it really is. Everything there was amazing, but that was awful. This is one of those... But I forgot to learn about it as well, I got more knowledge about it and how awful the tragedy it was. More videos to educate us, please let us know down below. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
