Was general dyer ashamed of what he did in the amritsar massacre?

General Reginald Dyer, who ordered the Amritsar Massacre in 1919, did not express shame or remorse for his actions. In fact, he justified his decision as a necessary measure to restore order, viewing the massacre as a means to quell unrest. Dyer's actions were met with both criticism and support, but he maintained a sense of pride in his role, believing he had acted in the best interest of British authority in India.
