Looking Back: 10 Powerful Photos from the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

13 April 2025

General Dyer's force firing on the public without any prior warning; they stopped only when they had no bullets left

The only entry and exit point of the Jallianwallah Bagh; it was blocked by Dyer's troops to prevent any protestor from escaping

The infamous well - perhaps 50 ft deep -  where many people perished when they jumped in to escape the bullets

The still-raw bullet marks embedded in the brick walls of Jallianwallah Bagh; it is as if Dyer open fired only yesterday.

The last known survivor of Jallianwallah Bagh massacre, Bapu Shingara Singh (the old man in white clothes), died in 2009.

Bullet marks at the entrance stand as a sombre remembrance of the immense cruelty of British raj

Eight minutes, 1,650 rounds of .303 Mark VI ammunition, 379 dead, 1,200 injured
