Our protagonist Harisharan Anand and his dear friend (Sadhu) Vaishnav Das of Peshawar took part in a very historic event. They were in Amritsar when Dr. Saifuddin Kitchlew and Dr. Satyapal were arrested on 11th April 1919. This led to a huge protest on 12th April where VD was struck by a British police officer. VD retaliated in turn by hitting the officer with his sotaa & a brick. Then VD was shot at.

Harisharan took Vaishnav Das to their dharamshala where a doctor was called to treat him. On the next day ( 13th April 1919), Harisharan joined the fateful meeting at Jallianwala Bagh. When the massacre started, he hid behind the platform of the samadhi/temple. He escaped unhurt. VD died of his wounds and a crowd of 50,000 people joined his funeral procession on 14th April in defiance of official orders.
