Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required The occupation of India began, with the East India company And prospered across large swathes of Indian territory Then the British Crown took control, bringing military might And to maintain superiority they were prepared to fight. The British saw themselves as the ruling class elite Opposing their occupation always ended in defeat A rebellion in eighteen fifty seven, was quickly put down No match were the rebels against the might of the Crown. Curfews and restrictions they placed on the population The people of India grew weary of this abomination Civil disobedience came later, introduced by Gandhi With the hope non violent action would set India free. In the year nineteen ninteen on the thirteenth of April Thousands were celebrating Baisakhi, a harvest festival At Amritsar in the Punjab region, that's now a state Unaware they were about to meet, with a terrible fate. A ban on gatherings had been issued but many didn't know And for a peaceful protest to Jallianwala Bagh they did go A park with high walls and narrow entrances, that led you inside Men, women and young children stood together side by side. Brigadier General Reginald Dyer, fearing violent disorder Ordered troops under his command to carry out mass murder They fired round after round, there was panic and screams A scenario you would only find in nightmarish dreams. Hundreds were killed and on the ground they fell Others tried to escape the carnage by jumping in a well Many more died in the stampede, as they tried to get away Their escape hampered by bodies that on the ground lay. Many had serious injuries and they eventually died No help was forthcoming because soldiers were outside There was pools of blood everywhere and rivers of red Bodies scattered all around of the dying and the dead. Men, women and young children lying lifeless and still Were victims of Brigadiers Dyers order, of shoot to kill The people carried no weapons and were certainly no threat They were just innocent people, who met with a violent death. When the news broke out there was outrage across the land But in England Dyer was applauded for making a stand Eventually the tide turned and he was forced to stand down It was the beginning of the end in India, for the British crown. Non violent disobedience was now the weapon of resistance And in ninteen forty seven India gained her independence India had managed to shake off, the shackles of an empire But not before more lives were lost, caught in the crossfire.
