Udham Singh. British colonial rule in India was very oppressive to the Indians. Resources were plundered, racial and religious tensions were sparked, and the common folk were getting taxed out of homes, fields, and food. Forcing entire generations of young men to enlist. Revolutionary activity started to sprout up everywhere. Especially in the Punjab.

On April 13. 1919 was the Sikh holiday of Visakhi, celebrating the Birth of the religion. Near the holy Shrine of the golden temple many people had gathered at a popular site called the Jalliawallah Bagh. It was a well that had a courtyard around it, the courtyard was surrounded by walls and gates. Here a couple of folks were set to do speeches and one of the speakers included a revolutionary. The British found out and sent General Dyer and his troops to make sure it wasn't too much of a rukus, Dyer had other plans.

General Dyer had the gates blocked off and his soldiers readied. Without warning he ordered his soldiers to start firing into the crowd. There was mass panic and stampedes yet Dyer didn't order the stop until bullets ran out. Conservative estimates put the death toll around 500, but many speculate the numbers could reach 1,000. Young Udham Singh was in this crowd.

He survived and saw the devastation around him and made it his life goal to get revenge. He figured out that the Punjabs Lt. Governer Michael O'Dwyer had ordered the action. He wouldn't do anything for another 21 years. In these years he would travel abroad to the UK, Nairobi, The US, Canada, France and other countries to build support from the Indians living abroad for the revolution. He was able to help establish funds from abroad and party members creating a whole revolutionary network.

Then on March 13, 1940 he was in the UK. He walked into caxton hall where an East India company meeting was going on. Took out his pistol he hid in a hallowed out bible, and shot O'dwyer. He was arrested and set to trial. When he found out only one was dead he said "Only one dead, eh? I thought I could get more. I must have been too slow. There were a lot of women about, you know". He would be hung a couple months after .Udham Singhs actions would inspire many to strive for freedom including soldiers of the Azad Hind fauj who couples together with ww2, the Indian socialists, and Gandhis actions would lead to India's Independence.
