Difference between Udham Singh and assassins of Indira Gandhi?

[Ghauri_Ghaznavi]

Udham singh is considered a national hero in india because he killed General Dyer to take revenge for Jallianwala Bagh massacre. And i agree that it was a job well done by Udham singh.

But how is Udham singh any different from the assassins of Indira Gandhi (Beant Singh and Satwant Singh). Beant and Satwant singh took revenge for operation bluestar when they assassinated Indira Gandhi just like Udham singh avenged Jallianwala bagh.

It is absurd that while Udham singh is considered a national hero, Beant singh and satwant singh are considered terrorists by indian (hindu) nationalists.

^A Question, which will answer yours.

If tomorrow were some one to assassinate Musharaff on the grounds, that he conducted Operation Sunrise (Siege of Lal Masjid) would he be considered a national hero or a terrorist by sane Pakistanis?

Jalianwala baug was a religious place made into a heavily fortified bunker by armed rebels challenging the state's writ and holding civilians hostage?

Oh I forget, that was Lal Masjid.

I've seen sane Pakistanis calling Ilm Ud Din a hero and yet calling Mumtaz Qadri a murderer. We must not try to use sane Pakistanis as a yardstick in arguments.

I agree with you ...Indira was in no mood to tolerate Sikhs or other minorities ...What Beent Singh and Satwant did was no different than what Udham had done to Dyer ...I was waiting for the movie 'Qaum de Heery' but it is banned now ...sigh !

It will be a violent reaction against Mush for conducting a needless operation in the most poorest way ...!

Indira Gandhi needed to be assassinated.The reason are manifold,firstly if she hadn't been assassinated early she surely would have turned into some kind of a dictator within whatever was left of her miserable life.So I think her assassination was for the greater good of the nation.Secondly if she had been in power for a few more years Rajiv Gandhi could have been in a much more dominant position owing to his mothers patronage and would have indulged into several other scams like Bofors (Corruption runs in their family).Being the daughter of Nehru Indira it seems was always under this delusion that it was her destiny to rule India,a very dangerous idea.He propped up Bhindhranwale for her own political interests but did not put a check on his anti-national activities even when it came to her knowledge that his activities were divergent of the purpose he ought to have served.If she had taken the appropriate steps at the right time India would have been spared of a permanent scar in her recent history.The only point of contention between several sections of our society even today is that assassination of India's PM while she was still in office is widely perceived as an act gainst the nation as a whole and hence the assassins of Indira cannot be compared to Udham Singh who killed a servant of the belligerent,imperialist,exploitative and oppressive British crown!!!
