In the history of India "The Independance struggle" will occupy most part of it. Independence struggle gave birth to a lot of heroes. Some were real and a lot of hype's like Gandhi. I dont believe in giving credit to a single person or celebrating him alone for an achievement like attaining freedom to India.
There are some imcidents that was not spoken much but I believe these incidents should have shaken the British, created fear in their mind which finally got them out of this country. One such example is the act of Shaheed-i-Azam Sardar Udham Singh who killed General Michael O'Dwyer. Shaheed-i-Azam Sardar Udham Singh who witnessed the Jallian Wallah Bagh massacre took an oath to avenge the killings. He fought many odds before he could reach his final goal of killing Michael O'Dwyer 21years after the massacre happened.
What scared the British? Its not the killing as such but the place. It happened in Caxton Hall in London. British believed that we would always resist their occupation in India without guns and only sitting here in India. When Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose travelled out of the country and built an armed force against the British and when Udham Singh attacked them in their capital, it should have sent signals to them that Indian's are capable of anything and they are taking a different path which would cause disturbance in Britain. People like Gandhi made us look like poor guys who are capable of nothing but shouting slogans. If this Gandhi guy not been there we would have put a brave fight lost more lives but achieved a freedom out of bravery and not let the country split.
It is Udham Singh who travelled abroad to many nations before reaching Britain after 21 years of the massacre and killed O'Dwyer who should be celebrated.
