Week 2

Gandhi

Today you will watch Gandhi Part 3.

Yesterday, the movie ended with the Amritsar Massacre. It was reported that the British fired 1,650 bullets at the unarmed Indians. Both sides debate the number of people killed. The British claimed that around 380 people died and a further 1,200 were wounded. The Indians claim that around 1,000 people died with another 500 injured. General Dyer’s punishment for ordering the Massacre was, he was forced to retire from the military and sent back to England. That was it. When he returned to England, he was treated like a war hero by many people.

Don’t forget about your questions from the movie guide.
