In the Indian state of Haryana, “Shaheed Udham Singh Jayanti,” or the commemoration of liberation hero Udham Singh’s birthday, is observed as a federal or a public holiday.
Shaheed Udham Singh was a Sardar from Punjab and in the eyes of the British, was a murderer. According to Britishers, he murdered their former lieutenant governor of the Province of Punjab. However, this incident happened on March 13, 1940. Michael O’Dwyer was fatally shot by him at a conference in London. Udham Singh did not attempt to flee and eventually was apprehended right away by the Britishers. He was forced to eat while on a starvation diet for more than 40 days in prison before being finally killed, or hanged to death on July 31, 1940.
Sardar Udham Singh Being Hindustan’s Hero
Sardar Udham Singh is also referred to as “Shaheed I Azam” in Hindustan, which translates to “The Great Martyr.” The explanation would be that 20 years earlier to being slain, Michael O’Dwyer had committed a bloodbath that resulted in the deaths of over hundreds of population, which today we know as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
In Punjab, violent protests against British rule did break out in 1919. These riots were eventually put down by shooting at civilian populations. Four Foreigners had been murdered in protests a few days earlier, and some British institutions had been destroyed, but the throng that was shot upon is thought to have become a nonviolent protest group.
Although Mahatma Gandhi denounced the murders. Many people, particularly in Ludhiana and Punjab, the region where he was born, supported it. On the grounds of Jallianwala Bagh in the Punjabi city of Amritsar, the slaughter or the blood bath of 1919 occurred. However, there is indeed a commemorative National memorial that respectfully recalls him.
