Amritsar Massacre
Amritsar Massacre
Yet both the Queen and former Prime Minister David Cameron have side stepped calls for an apology for the mass shooting during official visits to Amritsar. One hundred years on, is it time to say sorry?
This book examines the context in which the infamous event took place - and asks why something that happened 100 years ago remains so controversial. Did the order to fire prevent further native and imperialist bloodshed in the Punjab? Was enough done at the time to investigate if General Robert Dyer acted alone or with the full support of his superiors? Who was ultimately responsible for the 1,650 rounds of ammunition discharged that day?
Readers will discover how tensions within the region - and political and professional ambitions on both sides - combined to create a chain of events that signaled the beginning of the end for the British Raj.
