The Garden That Turned a Nation Jallianwala Bagh is a public garden and national memorial in Amritsar, Punjab, marking the site of the massacre of 13 April 1919, when British troops under Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer fired on an unarmed crowd gathered for Baisakhi. Hundreds were killed, British records cite 379 dead, Indian estimates run far higher, and the atrocity became a turning point in India's freedom struggle.
