EVENTS OF THE MONTH
April 13 – Jallianwala Bag Day
We remember with great reverence the innocent lives that were sacrificed during the massacre at the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab, on 13th April 1919. More than 397 people lost their lives and over 1500 were injured when under the order of the acting Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer a troop of the British Indian Army opened fire on a gathering of innocent people who had gathered at the garden to celebrate the festival of Baisakhi. Rabindranath Tagore returned his knighthood to mark his protest against this mindless atrocity.
April 15 – Poila Baishakh or Bengali New Year The first day of the Bengali month of Baishakh has been regarded as the day to start any economic transactions in the Bengali almanac from time immemorial. During the reign of Emperor Akbar, this day came to be merged with the day to pay taxes. Gradually this day came to be regarded as the beginning of the Bengali New Year. In fact, according to a historian, the celebration of Poila Baishakh owes its origin to the Brahmo movement. This day is celebrated in all the Brahmo Samajes of Bengal with prayer meetings and devotional songs. This day has a special significance in Bangladesh as this day is associated with the Bengali identity which is marked by daylong celebrations
