Sikh Revolutionary Udham Singh

Udham Singh killed Lt Governor of Punjab Micheal O Dwyer-Lt Governor of Punjab in March 1940 in vengeance for Jalianwala massacre. The Lt Governor had endorsed General Dwyer act of massacre.  " I did it because I had a grudge against him. He deserved it. He was the real culprit. He wanted to crush the spirit of my people, so I have crushed him. For full 21 years, I have been trying to wreak vengeance. I am happy that I have done the job. I am not scared of death. I am dying for my country. I have seen my people starving in India under the British rule. I have protested against this, it was my duty. What a greater honour could be bestowed on me than death for the sake of my motherland?
