Just adjacent to the Golden Temple is the Jallianwala Bagh. It is a momento of the Freedom Struggle. It was at this site that hundreds of people were shot down by General Dyer.

This brutal massacre of over 2000 innocent unarmed people, on the orders of a British General on April 13, 1919 highlights the atrocities performed by the British on Indians. This appalling massacre was one of the major events in India's struggle for independence and was movingly re-created in the film Gandhi.
