Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Amritsar.

  • The Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place on April 13, 1919, when a group of peaceful protestors was gunned down in an enclosed park with only one exit. 
  • On 13 April 1919, people gathered at Jallianwala Bagh (Amritsar) to protest against the arrest of the two nationalist leaders, Satya Pal and Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew. 
  • The massacre had been a calculated act and Dyer declared with pride that he had done it to produce a ‘moral effect’ on the people and that he had made up his mind that he would shoot down all men if they were going to continue meeting.
