Jallianwala Bagh, a garden in Amritsar, Punjab, symbolizes an incident in India's colonial past when British troops, led by General Dyer, fired upon a peaceful protest in 1919, killing hundreds. The garden, featuring bullet-ridden walls and a well into which people jumped for escape, is a memorial for the victims. The incident catalyzed India's struggle for independence and serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for justice and equality.
