Total Questions: 39

21. The Hunter Committee was appointed after the: [I.A.S. (Pre) 2001]

Correct Answer: (b) Jallianwala Bagh massacre
Solution:The Government established a Disorders Inquiry Committee headed by Lord William Hunter, a Senator of the College of Justice of Scotland. The Committee had 7 members—4 British and 3 Indians. It was set up to investigate the Jallianwala Bagh Tragedy. Before the Committee could publish its report, Congress put forward its view. This view criticized Dyer’s act as inhuman and said that there was no justification for introducing martial law in Punjab. But the Hunter Report, as expected, saw things differently. Although it condemned most of Brigadier General Dyer’s decisions, it agreed with the imposition of martial law in Punjab. It also criticized the Satyagraha method adopted by Gandhi, holding him partially responsible for the deteriorated law and order situation. As a result, Dyer was sent to England and relieved of his command. The British Government called Brigadier General Dyer the 'Lion of British Empire' and awarded him the 'Sword of Honour' for his service.
