This episode, from the Dublin Festival of History 2025, discusses the common revolutionary sentiments in Ireland and India in the struggle against British occupation. The Easter Rising of 1916 encouraged freedom fighters in India, just as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre at Amritsar in India in 1919 horrified the Irish public. Insensitive statements made by General Dyer during his trial were condemned by Irish newspapers that covered the Amritsar massacre.
As researched by Jawhar Sircar, a journalist and retired civil servant of the Indian government.
This was first published as an online talk, recorded on 1st October 2025.
