Why did the Jallianwala Bagh incident weaken the British claim of being just rulers?

Correct answer: Because an unarmed gathering was fired upon without warning

The governing concept is colonial violence and the denial of civil rights. At Jallianwala Bagh, General Dyer ordered troops to fire on a largely unarmed gathering without giving it a meaningful warning or route of escape. This use of lethal force against civilians exposed the contradiction between Britain’s claim of just government and its actual coercive rule. Option A is correct; the other choices describe reforms that did not occur.
