    Solution

    The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar Massacre, occurred on April 13, 1919, in the city of Amritsar in Punjab, India. British troops, under the command of Colonel Reginald Dyer, opened fire on a peaceful gathering of Indians who had assembled at Jallianwala Bagh to protest the repressive Rowlatt Act. This tragic event led to a large number of casualties and widespread outrage across India. Quit India Movement was a major civil disobedience movement launched in 1942 demanding an end to British colonial rule. Non-Cooperation Movement was a mass protest against British rule in India led by Mahatma Gandhi and other leaders. Khilafat Movement was a political campaign launched by Indian Muslims to protest the mistreatment of the Caliph of the Ottoman Empire and to safeguard Islamic holy places.
