Circumstances that led to Jallianwala Bagh incident were. The Rowlatt Act (1919) was passed by the British government despite the united opposition of the Indian members. This Act gave enormous powers to the government to repress political activities and allowed detention of any person without trial for two years.
Gandhiii wanted non-violent civil disobedience against such unjust laws. Rallies were organised in different cities. Alarmed by the popular upsurge. British administration imposed martial law in Amritsar.
Jallianwala Bagh is situated in Amritsar (Puniab). Here as a mark of protest against the Rowlatt Act. a peaceful assembly was going on. People from many surrounding villages were participating. Some came here to attend the annual Baisakhi fair. The garden where people assembled was enclosed on three sides and had only one entrance. In order to terrorise the people. General Dyer entered the park with troops. Without giving any warning to the people. he ordered his sepoys to fire at them. In this firing, many people were killed and many wounded.
