SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2010 - "A must know for every indian"
" VENGEANCE FOR FULL 21 YEARS FOR INDIA..."

As Indian's most of us would have forgotten and forgiven the Jaliianwala Bagh massacer by now. But there was a person who did not forget nor forgive Michael O' Dwyer {The then Governor General of the State} who was the prime person for orchestrating and executing this massacre on Indian's. What Dwayer called “TO TEACH THE INDIANS A LESSON, TO MAKE A WIDE IMPRESSION AND TO STRIKE TERROR THOUGHT - OUT PUNJAB". Today The December 26th is 111th Birth Anniversary of Udham Singh; The great Indian whose sole purpose of life was to restore the honor of INDIA because of this massacre.

Udham Singh who was serving water to the crowd at Jaliianwala Bagh was greatly shaken by the great massacre. After which he bathed in the holy sarvor {Pool of Nectar} and took a vow and solemn pledge in front of Golden Temple to wreak a vengeance on the perpetrators of the crime and to restore honor to what he saw as a humiliated nation. He followed Michael O'Dwyer for almost 21 years after Jallianwala Bagh killings and killed him in Caxton Hall near to Westminster in Great Britain. After which Udham Singh voluntarily surrendered to the police and when questioned in the court about the killing of O'Dwyer, He said: -

“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 WREAK 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 A GREATER HONOR COULD BE BESTOWED ON ME THAN DEATH FOR THE SAKE OF MY MOTHERLAND? "

Reactions for this killing poured in fast: -

* Amrit Bazar Patrika wrote, "O'Dwyer's name is connected with Punjab incidents which India will never forget".

* New Statesman observed: "British conservatism has not discovered how to deal with Ireland after two centuries of rule. Similar comment may be made on British rule in India. Will the historians of the future have to record that it was not the Nazis but the British ruling class which destroyed the British Empire?"

* Indians all over regarded Singh's action as justified and an important step in India's struggle to end British colonial rule in India. At a public meeting in Kanpur, a speaker stated that "at last an insult and humiliation of the nation had been avenged".

* Most of the press worldwide remembered the story of Jallianwala Bagh and held Michael O' Dwyer fully responsible for the events. Singh was called "fighter for freedom" by The Times, London, and his action was said to be "an expression of the pent-up fury of the downtrodden Indian People".

* Bergeret, published in large-scale from Rome at that time, ascribed the greatest significance to the circumstance and praised Udham Singh's action as courageous.

* Berliner Borsen Zeitung called the event "The torch of the Indian freedom"

AND

* German radio repeatedly broadcast: "The cry of tormented people spoke with shots". and "Like the elephants, the Indians never forgive their enemies. They strike them down even after 20 years".

Jaliianwala Bagh is indeed an HOLLOCAST of highest order. I do understand the gravity of the word HOLLOCAST and have used it with complete intent and purpose; So that we Indians do not forget Udham Singh or SIX AND HALF LACK freedom fighters who willing gave their lives so that we can see an independent INDIA!

Here is an effort to portray the incidents and life of Udman Singh in the form of pictures.
