A massacre of Indian civilians by British troops in the wake of protests against the Rowlatt Act, enacted after World War I.

Dyer entered the crowd of about 20,000 civilians protesting the arrest of two ethnic leaders, and fired indiscriminately, killing and wounding more than 1,500. The incident is commonly known as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, named after the place in the city where it occurred.
