Udham Singh’s birth anniversary
On this significant day, we also remember and commemorate the birth anniversary of Udham Singh, a fearless revolutionary who, in response to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar during Baisakhi in 1919, took action by assassinating General O’Dwyer in March 1940. General O’Dwyer had ordered his forces to open fire on peaceful protesters, and Udham Singh’s act was a form of retribution for that tragic incident.
