British had left but left behind the babus

It has reference to an earlier report here and here.

As reported, the Deputy Commissioner of Amritsar, in response to an RTI application, located the files of the martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919 at Amritsar. He, under the hangover of colonial mindset which somehow continues to percolate down on the mind of Indians, decreed in highly indiscreet manner that they people who had lost their life while participating in the peaceful meeting against the Rowlatt Act had been already compensated by the existing government.

It is reported in the Hindustan Times, September 5, 2008, Front page, that the same Deputy Commissioner has sought the freedom fighter status for those who were killed on that fateful date. It is highly ironical and disgraceful that the administration had played all those acts which it usually perform in a matte which is of sanctity of history of the country before coming to the most logical decision.

British had left but left behind the babus.
