CETPA Pay Tributes to all Martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

CETPA Infotech pay its heartfelt tribute to all the martyrs (our real heroes) who sacrificied their life for our Nation on 13th April 1919 at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar. We must be proud for these Brave souls who had fought till their last breath of life to make our country free from Bristish rule.


The words Jallianwala Bagh has a hypnotic effect on the minds of all the Indians. It brings forth the feelings of patriotism and at the same time utter contempt of the British Raj. The time period of British rule in India; known as the British Raj, saw many uprising and clashes against the British. In the name of Colonial rule, atrocities that would appall us today did take palace when the British wanted to make an example of the Indians to keep their subjects in line. The famous public garden of Jallianwala Bagh of Amritsar in the state of Punjab was the place where once such terrible tragedy took place in on 13th April 1919, where more than five thousand people Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims un armed gathered at the garden of Jallianwala Bagh to celebrate the annual Baisakhi festival.


Without any warning a small army led by a British General entered the garden through the narrow passage and started firing and many people including women and children were gunned down. That killing field on a fateful day in 1919 is today a magnificent public garden and monument to the fallen, visited by thousands. The Jallianwala Bagh is located quite close to the Golden Temple in Amritsar. In the midst of old park walls where the bullet marks can still be seen, you will find a monolithic monument standing silently in respect of those who fell to the gunfire. The well at Jallianwala Bagh; known as the ‘Marty’s Well’ can still be seen at the park, where more than 120 bodies were pulled out of on the day of the tragedy. The massacre was the worst atrocity by a British officer ever recorded.


Just remember:

Jallianwala Bagh yeh dekho, Yahan chali thhi goliyan, Yeh mat puchho kisne kheli yahan khoon ki holian. Ek taraf thee bandook dandan ek taraf thi tolian. Marne waale bol rahe thhe, Inquilab ki boliyan.’ Yahaan lagaa dii bahano ne bhii baaji apani jaan kii. Is mittie se tilak karo ye dharti ha balidhan ki.
