Explanation:

The Jallianwala bagh massacre aroused the fury of the Indian people and the government replied with further brutalities. People in Punjab were made to crawl on the streets. They were put in open cages and flogged. Newspapers were banned and their editors put behind the bars or deported. A reign of terror, like the one that followed the suppression of the revolt of 1857, was let loose.

Rabindranath Tagore, who had been knighted by the British, renounced his knighthood and Gandhiji returned his 'Kaisar-i-Hind' medal.

Eventually after much aggression from the Indians, the government had to suspend General Dyer, who quietly just returned to Britain. However, the cycle of karma came full circle for the ruling country after Sardar Udham Singh, who was a witness to the killings, shot Michael O'Dwyer in his own homeland of London, on March 30, 1940, as a revenge for the massacre. Michael O'Dwyer was said to be the planner and the silent supported of Dyer.

Before the 1919 Jallianwalla Bagh tragedy, Gandhi had never visited Punjab. The massacre, however, changed him forever. It transformed him from an Empire loyalist to an implacable opponent of British rule.
