VEER SHAHEED UDHAM SINGH
13 March 1940: Just about 81 years ago, General DWYER was SHOT by a GREAT SON OF INDIA, VEER SHAHEED UDHAM SINGH in Britain as a REVENGE OF JALLIAWALA MASSACRE ORDERED BY THIS WRETCHED GENERAL. He was not Killed in India, but Great Shaheed Udham Singh followed him to England and KILLED HIM ALMOST 21 YEARS AFTER THE MASSACRE. Here is the Story:
"He is a mad man" - said Gandhi !
"His act was a senseless deed" - said Nehru !
"We condemn his act of terror and apologise and hope we are not punished for it" - - resolution passed by Congress ! (They are referring to VEER SHAHEED UDHAM SINGH ONLY)
'SENSELESS DEED' Shaheed UDHAM SINGH did was that he killed Michael Dwyer. Michael was the monster who massacred 1526 innocent unarmed peaceful Indians in Jalian wala Bagh on that fateful day in 1919.
Udham singh was a 19 years old volunteer who was serving Water to the 20,000 people gathered in the garden on festival of Baisakhi. They were brutally massacred by Gen Dwyer and Udham singh was live witness to it. He wanted to avenge the brutality and get some sense of justice to these martyrs.
British GOVT didn’t
take any action. Congress couldn't get British to act on Dwyer
BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO. So
Dwyer happily retired to England and lead a peaceful rich
life.
Meanwhile, Udham singh joined Gadhar Party and fought for freedom. He was jailed for 5 years and there he was inspired by death and martyrdom of Bhagat Singh who wanted to take action on Dwyer.
After release, he escaped from India through Kashmir. He went to Germany and then to London.
He pursued Dwyer for
6 years. He procured a gun, learnt shooting and then
found that on 13, March, 1940 Dwyer was speaking in Caxton
hall, London. He hid a gun
in a book in which he had carved a place for gun. Sat in
front row and shot two bullets into heart and lung of Dwyer.
Monster DWYER DIED instantly.
UDHAM SINGH didn’t escape. He bravely courted arrest. He told these words to the judge during his prosecution:
"I did it because
I had a grudge against him. He deserved it. He was the
real culprit. He wanted to crush the spirit of my people,
so I have crushed him. For full 21 years, I have been
trying to seek vengeance. I am happy that I have done the
job. I am not scared of death. I am dying for my country.
I have seen my people starving in India under the British
rule. I have protested against this, it was my duty. What
greater honour could be bestowed on me than death for the
sake of my motherland?” (Does These
words bring any SHAME TO SHAMELESS GRAND OLD PARTY,
'CONGRESS".)
He was sentenced to death in the court. He fasted for 42 days in the jail and was brutally tortured and hanged on July 31, 1940
Meanwhile in India CONGRESS condemned UDHAM SINGH & HIS ACT OF TAKING REVENGE. Gandhi and Nehru abused him for making British angry and they forced Congress to pass a resolution against killing of Dwyer. They were very busy those days helping British recruit Indian soldiers for World War - II and they didn’t want Punjab to get upset wirh British. This is our great freedom fighting party which condemned killing of a monster like Dwyer who massacred 1526 people in Punjab.
Udham Singh was buried in London and like other freedom fighters, he is FORGOTTEN in India. No textbooks talk about him. Few people know about him.
In 1974 his remains were exhumed and brought to Bharat and he was cremated here. His ashes are in urn in Jalian Wala Bagh.

P..S. Most shameful part of the whole episode is that STATE OF PUNJAB IS ONE OF VERY FEW STATES RULED BY GRAND OLD PARTY OF INDIA, CONGRESS.
