Answer:

Over 400 unarmed people were killed by the British India Army on the orders of General Dyer for assembling at Jallianwala Bagh.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • General Dyer, a tyrant officer of the British Indian Army ordered the troops to open fire on a peaceful gathering of over 1000 people.
  • These orders were merely given out of the hatred that General Dyer possessed towards Indians.
  • This infamous incident of Jallianwala Bagh is looked at as the epitome of cruelty by the British on common Indians.
