The infamous Jallianwala Bagh tragedy was perpetrated by the British officers of the then Raj and had power over India and under the law of the British Parliament.
A hundred years ago the dastardly acts of the British were commited and have been aptly covered by Asian Voice over the last two weeks and has also been extremely well publicised in other electronic and print media.
The British Government, the present government of Teresa May, has been seen shedding crocodile tears and expressing regret and using such insincere words.
There is ample proof that innocent Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims were massacrade in that small walled garden in Amritsar.
The British authorities should have enough courage and guts to apologies wholeheartedly and without any ifs and buts. By not doing this not only have they failed to heal the wounds of the fifth generation of people in this country but are irresponsible by ignoring such an atrocity that has been committed to perpetuate the colonies.
Let them be reminded that twenty-eight years after that tragedy in Amritsar the British were forced to leave India.
