Answer:
(i) Jallianwalla 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. Some came here to attend the annual Baisakhi fair.
This garden is enclosed on three sides and has only one
entrance. In order to terrorise 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.
(ii) Simon Commission arrived in India in 1928. It was greeted
with black flags and slogans like 'Simon Go Back'. Both Congress and Muslim
League unitedly protested against it. This commission was boycotted by the
Indian people as it did not include any Indian member in it. Also the
commission did not give any hope of 'Swaraj for the Indians'.
