Jallianwala Bagh massacre, where just hours before thousands of unarmed
people gathered at a public meeting were killed. At the age of 14, he
was among the protestors of the killing of a large number of unarmed
people at Gurudwara Nankana Sahib on 20th February 1921. Bhagat Singh
never supported Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence.
