Biography
The Tiladi massacre, also known as the Rawain massacre, was the mass shooting of unarmed protesters by the princely state forces of Tehri Garhwal State on 30 May 1930. The incident took place in a field of Tiladi village of the Rawain Valley, near present-day Barkot in Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand, India. It occurred during the Indian independence movement, in response to local protests against repressive forest policies imposed under the British-backed Tehri Garhwal princely state. It led to the death of at least 200 villagers, with over 100 injured.
