106 years ago today, on April 6, 1919 (March 6, 1919 in the lunar calendar), an anti-British hunger strike took place in India. Driven by the world revolutionary movement, in the early 20th century, India's struggle for national liberation rose. In order to conceal their colonial rule over India, the British colonists wooed and bribed India's upper-class elements on the one hand and brutally suppressed the People's Revolutionary Movement on the other. In March 1919, the "Rolat Act" to suppress the people was promulgated, which aroused strong resistance from the Indian people. The rapid development of the people's revolutionary struggle has promoted the Indian national bourgeoisie. Gandhi and the Congress Party under his leadership changed their stance of cooperating with the British colonial authorities and called on the Indian people to hold a general hunger strike on April 6 to protest against the "Rorat Law", but at the same time they did not allow the people to use violence to oppose British colonial rule fully reflected the dual nature of the Indian bourgeoisie. However, the Indian people broke through the restrictions and constraints of the Congress Party. On April 10, 1919, the British colonists arrested two national movement activists in Amritsar, Punjab Province, where the anti-American struggle was fierce. 30,000 people held protests and demonstrations. The colonists blatantly massacred the demonstrators. The angry people drove away the colonial army on the same day and occupied the city of Amritsar. But that night, the colonial army entered the city again. On the 13th, thousands of people gathered in the square in Amritsar. The British army intercepted the exit of the square and fired machine guns at the unarmed crowd in the square for 10 minutes. According to greatly reduced official statistics, nearly 400 people were killed and 1200 were injured. This was the sensational "Amritsar Massacre" created by the British colonial authorities. This incident aroused greater anger among the Indian people, and uprisings broke out one after another across the country. As Lenin pointed out: In British India,"the more ferocious the terrorist acts such as mass massacres (in Amritsar) and public torture intensified by the British, the faster the revolution developed."
