Agreed Kai...And yes the Brits were not the only ones to instigate an amritsar massacre...as I say..history repeats...I dont go with the old saying we learn from history..we quite plainly dont.

But in that case..at least the troops firing were not doing so commanded by the British and under the delusions of a British officer...

The Indian massacre was committed by own people in own country..not by foreign occupying forces.

We could look on and say...animals what do they think they are doing..but we forget we showed the way.
