PublisherCONTEXT
SynopsisIn the hundred years since the massacre at
Jallianwala Bagh, the volatile atmosphere in Punjab
at the time has been forgotten, as also the true
horror of the event itself. The details of the widespread
agitation against the Rowlatt Bill, which led
to the gathering at Jallianwala Bagh, begs a nuanced
and unbiased documentation—as does the larger
canvas of the revolt and rebellion in the country.
This book looks at how Jallianwala Bagh became
the flame that ignited the freedom movement, as
well as the role of nationalists such as Madan Mohan
Malviya, B.G. Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, Saifuddin
Kitchlew and Satya Pal in the events before and after
the slaughter.
