city in Punjab State in India, site of the Golden Temple of the Sikhs.

Fishburn and Hughes: "An Indian city founded in the sixteenth century, the capital of the Amritsar district in west Punjab and the religious centre of the Sikhs. The 'disturbances in a Muslim city' refer to the episode in 1919 when 379 of Gandhi's followers were killed and 1200 wounded by British troops in Amritsar." (10)
