Write a newspaper report on   (a) The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre   (b) The Simon Commission  

Answer:

(a) Jallianwala Bagh is situated in Amritsar (Punjab). Here, as a mark of protest against the Rowlatt Act, a peacefully assembly was going on. People from many surrounding villages were participating. This garden is enclosed on three sides and has only one entrance. In order to terrorize the people, General Dyer entered the park with troops. Without giving any warning to the people, he ordered his sepoys to fire at them. In this firing many people were killed and many wounded.   (b) Simon Commission arrived in India in 1929. It was greeted with black flags and slogans like 'Simon Go Back'. Both Congress and Muslim League unitedly protested against it.
