The 1919 reforms do not satisfy political demands in India.

The British repress opposition, and reenact restrictions on the press and on movement.

An apparently unwitting example of violation of rules against the gathering of people leads to the massacre at Jalianwala Bagh in Amritsar in April 1919.

This tragedy galvanizes such political leaders as Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, and the masses who follow them to press for further action.
