Jallianwallah Bagh - everyone knows of the infamous spot, a short distance away from the Golden Temple, where General Dyer ordered the gunning down of hundreds of patriotic Indians who had gathered to demand independence from British rule. Now it is a memorial park and you can still see the well with bullet marks, where hundred of people jumped in. A martyr's gallery displays photographs and newspaper clippings of the event.

Wagah Border - this is the checkpost on the India-Pakistan border, 9km from Amritsar. Each evening soldiers from both countries do the ceremonial march and lower their countries flags. This sight is watched by hundreds of tourists. Wagah border has come to stand as a reminder of the India-Pakistan partition, which caused many political and social repercussions later on.
