Qissa Khwani Bazaar massacre

The Qissa Khwani Bazaar massacre occurred on April 23, 1930, in Peshawar, British India (now Pakistan). During a protest against British colonial rule, a large crowd gathered in the bazaar to demand rights and express discontent. British troops opened fire on the protesters, killing hundreds and injuring many more. This brutal repression highlighted the growing discontent in India against colonial rule and intensified the Indian independence movement. The incident is remembered as a significant moment in the struggle against British imperialism, symbolizing the sacrifices made for freedom and justice.
