Six years ago, Channel 4 decided to put together the great-granddaughter of Reginal Dyer, Caroline Dyer, in the same room as the grandson of one of the survivors of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Dyer was the man responsible for killing thousands of men, women and children when he ordered his troops to shoot at a peaceful gathering on April 13, 1919. Caroline called Dyer an “honourable man” who was liked by the Indians and spoke many Indian languages, as if that absolved him of his crimes against humanity. Throughout the conversation, she laughed off the matter as she called one of the peaceful protestors a “looter”. She repeated that even though she isn’t well-read on the subject, she doesn’t need to be so to defend her great-grandfather. This conversation between the descendants of two people who were on sharply opposing sides wasn’t a debate.
