The focus then shifts to a pile of passports, all with different names. This gives a glimpse into the story that viewers will be chronicling the journey Udham Singh took under various aliases.

Remembering Udham Singh – Man Who Avenged Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

Born and brought up in Punjab, Udham Singh’s career took him to multiple countries spread across continents. It started with his association with the Ghadar Party in the US. Singh joined the party and made contacts in Italy, Poland, Hong Kong, Germany, etc.

However, the most fascinating aspect of his illustrious life was his successful attempt of assassinating General O’Dywer. In 1934, he went to London to take down the General who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of people in the Jallianwala Bagh Massacare.

It took Singh another 6 years to assassinate O’Dwyer, which gave him the name ‘The Patient Assassin’. After his immediate arrest, he went on a 36-day hunger strike in the jail. On July 31, 1940, he was hanged to death.
