unusual facts about Amritsar massacre



Austin Hopkinson

He was a member of the House of Commons Army Committee in 1919, and the following year criticised the actions of Brigadier-General Dyer in the Amritsar massacre following the official report into it.

Dwarkanath Tagore

Historiographers have often been flummoxed by his inability, despite a great desire, to be honoured by the Queen with a baronetcy (his grandson, Rabindranath Tagore, received the honour but returned it following British atrocities at the Jallianwala Bagh in the Punjab in 1919).

William Hunter, Lord Hunter

He also chaired the Committee of Inquiry into the Amritsar massacre which condemned the conduct of General Reginald Dyer.
