Dyer Report

The Dyer Report, officially known as the "Dyer Memorial of 1919," was a British governmental inquiry into the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, India, where British troops killed hundreds of unarmed Indian demonstrators in 1919. The report, authored by Sir Anthony Dyer, aimed to assess the events and provide recommendations for future governance. It highlighted the brutal actions of the military and criticized the government's handling of the situation, which fueled anti-British sentiments in India. The report is significant in understanding the rising demand for Indian independence and the tragic consequences of colonial rule.
