Amritsar massacre: Should the British government apologise?
On the 13th April 1919, British troops opened fire on civilians in the walled gardens of Jallian Bagh in Amritsar, India.
Estimates vary, but hundreds were killed and many more injured in the massacre. Indian society was shaken - and so was the British Empire. The following year, Winston Churchill expressed his outrage at the mass killing. But the British Government still hasn't made a formal apology - should it?
Joining Kirsty in the studio are two leading authorities on the atrocity – journalist Sathnam Sanghera and historian Kim Wagner.
