Historians say the new-look Jallianwala Bagh is a distortion of history
The Hindu
‘This is renovation, not restoration’
The new-look Jallianwala Bagh memorial that Prime Minister was a distortion of history of the site where British troops massacred Indians on April 13, 1919, historians said on Monday. Mr. Modi virtually inaugurated four new galleries and opened the renovated memorial a year-and-a-half after it was closed for the revamp. The well into which victims jumped when forces led by Reginald Dyer opened fire has been covered with a transparent barrier. The narrow entrance has been adorned with sculptures. A daily sound and light show explaining the events has been started.More Related News
