Getting personal while debating is the most pathetic way of making a point. So, let's leave my personal knowledge of historical events out of it. I am not trying to downplay the endevours of Udham Singh in anyways, i have a deep respect for the guy. My focus, is the connotation of the word Shaheed here. Forgive me, but, it's you and your indyan friends who are trying to blow my statement out of proportion for the sake of bickering.Who gives a damn? lets just bleedin respect the MARTYR WHO KILLED A BRIT BASTARD FOR MASSACRING AN INSLAVED PEOPLE..

This 26th DEC is the 112th Birth Anniversary of Shaheed Veer Udham Singh ... Person who Killed the Culprit of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre By Traveling all his way to England...all Hail the Brave Indian...a INDIAN will never Forget a INDIAN will never Forgive...
AN INDIAN WHO DID NOT CELEBRATE NEW YEAR FOR 21 YEARS
We are awaiting yet another new year to fulfill our personal dreams, to fight our tribulations, to reach new horizons, to , to , to seem never ending. In this psychodrama of life, we tend to forget and forgive Jaliianwala Bagh Massacer. But, there was a person who did not forget nor forgive Michael ODwyer {The Then Governor General of the State} who was the prime person for orchestrating and executing this massacre on Indians. After the massacre Dwyer gives a statement To teach the INDIANS a lesson, to make a wide impression and to strike terror thought out Punjab .
26th December is the 112th Birth Anniversary of Udham Singh. Indian, who did not celebrate New Year for 21 years, but his sole purpose and dream of life, was to restore the honor of INDIA because of the massacre. He, after witnessing this massacre at Jaliianwala Bagh was much shaken. He went to Golden Temple, bathed in the holy sarvor { Pool of Nectar } and took a solemn pledge To wreak vengeance on the perpetrators of this crime and to restore honor to what he saw as a Humiliated Nation . In order to fulfill this pledge of his, he hounded Michael O Dwyer across the globe for 21 years. At last at Caxton hall, in Great Britain killed him. Then he voluntarily surrendered to police. When asked in court about Killing of ODwyer he said:
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 honor could be bestowed on me than death for the sake of my MOTHERLAND?
Worlds reactions for this killing poured in fast:
* Amrit Bazar Patrika wrote, "O'Dwyer's name is connected with Punjab incidents which India will never forget".
* New Statesman observed: "British conservatism has not discovered how to deal with Ireland after two centuries of rule. Similar comment may be made on British rule in India . Will the historians of the future have to record that it was not the Nazis but the British ruling class which destroyed the British Empire ?"
* Indians all over regarded Singh's action as justified and an important step in India 's struggle to end British colonial rule in India . At a public meeting in Kanpur , a speaker stated that "at last an insult and humiliation of the nation had been avenged".
* Most of the press worldwide remembered the story of Jallianwala Bagh and held Michael O' Dwyer fully responsible for the events. Singh was called "fighter for freedom" by The Times, London , and his action was said to be "an expression of the pent-up fury of the downtrodden Indian People".
* Bergeret, published in large-scale from Rome at that time, ascribed the greatest significance to the circumstance and praised Udham Singh's action as courageous.
* Berliner Borsen Zeitung called
the event "The torch of the Indian freedom" AND
* German radio repeatedly broadcast: "The cry of tormented people spoke with shots". And "Like the elephants, the Indians never forgive their enemies. They strike them down even after 20 years".
The Indians never forgive their enemies. They strike them down even after 20 years....World's reaction to this incident is indicative of the blatant truth that India got independence, not only because of non violence. But our test books, still carries the old diseased dead statements India got independence because of non violence. If that be the case, then how are we going to account for six and half lack freedom fighters who willingly gave there lifes, for each of us to celebrate New Year, Year after Year!?
Rai Ahmed Khan Kharal was one of the greatest freedom fighters in the Indian rebellion of 1857.
An Illustration of Rai Ahmed Khan Kharral's struggle
He was a resident of Neeli Bar's famous town Gogera, District Sahiwal. He started his rebellion in a wide area of Punjab, Pakistan covering Ganji Bar, Neeli Bar and Sandal Bar area (an area between rivers Sutlej, Ravi River and Chenab covered with thick forests in past). A Punjabi Muslim, Rai Ahmed Khan Kharal was basically a landlord, owner of a reasonable/worth mentioning territory,he was leader of Kharal Tribe due to the prevailing unjustice at that time,love for his mother land resulting differences with the rulers,he was a peace loving, landlord, with respectable status but created injustice made him the leader of the freedom fighters who carried out the famous Gogera insurrection. They also attacked the Gogera Central Jail and ensured the freedom of hundreds of freedom fighters who were kept there for actively taking part in the War of Independence 1857. These freedom fighters under the command of Rai Ahmed Khan Kharal were able to make vast part of their land totally free of the British Raj for at least three months. Their headquarters was at Kot Kamalia. Along with his companions Murad Fatiana, Shujaa Bhadroo, and Mokha Wehniwal he killed Lord Burkley the Commissioner for Gogera. He united most of the Bari tribes against the British rule and was finally killed in a battle with British forces defending his beloved motherland. After his death His head was taken along by the British soldiers, but snatched back by one of His loyal friend, the point to be noted was that after passing even months blood droops were coming out of his neck as fresh as it has happened just now, His efforts for the freedom of the homeland from British rule were also acknowledged by the last Moghul king, Bahadur Shah Zafar.
