Jallianwala Bagh Massacre: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh paid a tribute to the martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh on the 107th anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, calling the incident ‘one of the darkest and most painful chapters’ in history.

“On #JallianwalaBagh massacre remembrance day, I bow my head in deep reverence to the countless innocent lives lost in one of the darkest and most painful chapters in our nation’s history. This tragedy was not just an act of brutality—it was a wound on the soul of India. Yet, from that pain emerged a stronger resolve, a united voice, and an unshakable determination to break the chains of colonial rule. Today, as we remember them, we are reminded of the true cost of our freedom. May the brave souls rest in eternal peace. Their sacrifice will forever remain a guiding light for generations to come,” Harbhajan wrote on X.

Over a century ago, on this day in 1919, the brutal actions of British colonial authorities made a profound impression on the Indian independence movement. This tragedy served as a crucial wake-up call for the public, revealing the extent of foreign cruelty and forever altering the path of the fight for freedom.
