Ajit Pai @AjitPai

In wake of #JallianwalaBagh massacre, the British imposed martial law in Amritsar. Dyer issued a number of decrees, including the infamous "crawling order," in which Indian men were forced to crawl on their stomachs on a street near where a British missionary had been attacked. https://t.co/sDHLXmZ0uI — PolitiTweet.org

According to a 1920 report, Dyer directed his men to fire "upon places where the crowd was thickest" because he "had made up his mind to punish them for having assembled there." He himself testified that he had no remorse for ordering his troops to shoot. #JallianwalaBagh https://t.co/fQuOT1KI7U — PolitiTweet.org

Later, Dyer justified his "crawling order" as follows: "Some Indians crawl face downwards in front of their gods. I wanted them to know that a British woman is as sacred as a Hindu god, and, therefore, they have to crawl in front of her, too." https://t.co/CLd7xdh0qu — PolitiTweet.org
