Remembering Revolutionary Udham Singh on His Maryrdom Day

 Remembering Revolutionary Udham Singh on His Maryrdom Day

Wikipedia post informs that Udham Singh (born Sher Singh; 26 December 1899 – 31 July 1940) was an Indian revolutionary belonging to Ghadar Party and HSRA, best known for assassinating Michael O'Dwyer, the former lieutenant governor of the Punjab in British India, on 13 March 1940. The assassination was done in revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919, for which O'Dwyer was responsible and of which Singh himself was a survivor.Singh was subsequently tried and convicted of murder and hanged in July 1940. While in custody, he used the name Ram Mohammad Singh Azad, which represents the three major religions in India and his anti-colonial sentiment.

INSPIRED QUINTETS

Young Udham, with courage so grand,
Saw injustice across the land.
For Jallianwala's pain,
He vowed to break the chain,
And free India from the British command.

Young Udham, with spirit so grand,
Took a name that united the land.
Ram, Mohammad, Singh too,
Azad, for me and for you,
One people, held firm by his hand.

Brave Udham, with a noble dream,
Wished freedom for his land, it seemed.
"Let thousands rise,
Beneath free skies,
And chase the tyrants, this I deem!"
