About Sardar Udham
Udham Singh avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by shooting Michael O’Dwyer in
London, in March, 1940. This is the story behind this fact – a tale of carrying an
unhealed wound for 21 years, of un-relenting resolve and resilience, the distinct journey
of ‘Sardar Udham’.
1919, Resentment against the British had been building up in Punjab. In early April, the
Lt. Governor of Punjab, Michael O’Dwyer decided to ‘restore order’ in the troubled city
of Amritsar.
On the fateful day of April 13th, over 20,000 unarmed people assembled in Jallianwala
Bagh. General Dyer reached the bagh with armed troops. Approximately 1650 rounds
were fired in 10 minutes. It was a bloodbath! Only 20-years-old at the time, Udham
Singh, was deeply scarred by this massacre.
In 1931, Udham escaped from India and made his way into the mountains of
Afghanistan, eventually reaching London via the sea in 1933-34.
In London, he spent the most decisive 6 years of his life, to re-ignite the revolution
begun by his guru, Bhagat Singh, waiting patiently, to avenge the Jallianwala Bagh
tragedy, to kill the man at the helm of affairs in Punjab, Michael O’Dwyer.
And in that single minded pursuit, gladly sacrificed his life.
