Today is the martyrdom day of the great revolutionary Udham Singh. Udham Singh was hanged in Pentonville jail on July 31, 1940. The brave son of India kept the fire of revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre alive for 20 years and killed the then Governor-General of Punjab Michael Francis O'Dwyer, who ordered the firing, to London, but Udham Singh did not flee and made his arrest.

Udham Singh's childhood name was Sher Singh and his brother's name was Mukta Singh, but when he had to stay in the orphanage, he and his brother were named Udham Singh and Sadhu Singh. But Udham Singh was not satisfied with his name, so he changed his name to Ram Mohammad Singh Azad to spread the message of all-religion equality in the country, which was each of India's three major religions, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and their sole goal of freedom. Turning the pages of history, April 13, 1919, What happened on Indian soil is a never-forgotten wound. On the same day, thousands of people had gathered at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar to protest against the Rowlett Act and British Officer General Dyer closed the main gate of the garden with his soldiers and armed vehicles and fired indiscriminately for 10 minutes on the unarmed mob without warning.

About 1000 people were reportedly killed and more than 1500 were injured in the incident. Historians say general Dyer was present on the spot when the incident took place. But the then Governor-General of Punjab, Michael Francis O'Dwyer, had directed to fire at the people. The same O'Dwyer was shot dead by revolutionary Udham Singh on March 13, 1940, at Caxton Hall in London. While Dwyer, who fired and carried out the firing, died in 1927 due to arteriosclerosis and cerebral hemorrhage.
