This is Lila. She’s twenty-nine years old. Amritsar, India, 13 April 1919. She brings her husband and two small children to a peaceful protest in Jallianwala Bagh. The air smells of marigolds and hope. Without warning, British troops open fire. Bullets ricochet off the high walls. There is no escape. Lila clutches her dying husband as her six-year-old daughter falls silently beside her. Her eight-year-old son is hit trying to shield his sister. She lies in the dust, cradling her dead family while hundreds scream around her. This was official British policy under martial law. Amritsar, 1919. When ordering soldiers to gun down unarmed civilians was perfectly legal. This was legal. Drop a 🩸 for Lila and every victim of the Empire’s massacre. Which Empire horror should we expose next?
