We saw Sardar Udham Singh in Amazon Prime today .
Udham singh was hanged to death in 1940 for having shot dead Former lt Gov of Punjab province British India
Sir Michael O Dwyer .
The name sounds very similar to General Dyer who ordered the firing of unprotected hundreds in a meeting in Amristar the notorious Jallianwala massacre .
O Dweyer we come to know had ordered gen Dyer to spare no efforts to give a punishment to the Indians which they would never forget .
So though the act was done by Dyer this man ordered it to him and justified it later .
Though most of us have studied on the massacre and I had visited Amristar and gone to Jallianwala bagh itself a memorial park today i never knew about Udham Singh .
This is how our history sylabus full of Tipoos and Aurangazebs and Robert clive and the one and only Nehru had missed out on such a great martyr .
The film is an eye opener and I feel should be shown in all schools and colleges so that our youngsters realise but for Gandhi and the one and only Nehru there were such great men who bought us freedom by giving thier lives .
Every Indian should see the film
