The Jallianwala Bagh massacre fuelled a sense of outrage among Indians against British rule and served as a catalyst for the independence movement. Bhagat Singh, who was just a 12-year-old at the time of the massacre, grew up in its aftermath and was deeply affected by the injustice inflicted upon his fellow citizens. It strengthened his resolve to fight against British oppression and significantly shaped his revolutionary ideology.
