Answer:
(a)
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.
(b) 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'.
