7 years ago when I visited Jallianwala Bagh what gripped my heart there the most was the silence. A silence that echoed the deafening massacre which brutally took away the lives of hundreds of innocent unsuspecting men, women and children. 104 years years to the fateful day,… pic.twitter.com/eiSVZORTcS

Today in 1919, British Indian Army mercenaries fired in #JallianwalaBagh as ordered by General Dyer - who was later forgiven by Mahatma Gandhi. Free India Govt gave pension to these mercenaries, rather than try them for treason. @chandrachurg @ProfKapilKumar @ShubhamAzadHind 1/ pic.twitter.com/VfBANkwlKf
