Jallianwala Bagh
Jallianwala Bagh is a public garden in Amritsar in the Punjab state of India, and houses a memorial
of national importance, established in 1951 to commemorate the massacre by British occupying forces of peaceful celebrators 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 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.
