The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, also known as the Massacre of Amritsar, was an incident that took place on April 13, 1919. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre is considered to be the biggest massacre in history, which testifies to the cruelty of the British rule. It is said that in this massacre that took place about 102 years ago on April 13, 1919, 1,650 rounds were fired, in which 379 people died. Although this is the official figure of the British Government, but many people believe that more than 1000 people had lost their lives. It was the forerunner to Mahatma Gandhi's full devotion to the cause of Indian nationalism and independence from British, and it marked a turning point in India's modern history in that it left a permanent scar on Indo-British relations. 

But everyone knows that General Michael O'Dyer marched his men to a raised bank and ordered them to kneel and fire. However, Udham Singh took revenge and went to London and shot him. But it is said that it is half truth! Yes, you read it right. 

Udham Singh killed Michael O'Dwyer

It is true that Udham Singh had taken revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and had also gone to London and killed a person. But, the person whom Udham Singh killed in London was not the same General Dyer who had fired bullets in Jallianwala Bagh. Actually, two people were important in this murder. One was Michael O'Dwyer, he was the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab. The second was Colonel Reginald Dyer, who ordered firing at Jallianwala Bagh. Lieutenant Governor Dwyer supported the firing order given by Colonel Dyer.

General Dyer died of brain hemorrhage

After this, Udham Singh took revenge of Jallianwala Bagh and pledged to teach a lesson to General Dyer and the then Punjab Governor Michael O'Dwyer. General Dyer, who had fired the bullets, had died of brain hemorrhage in 1927. For which it is said that Udham Singh went to London and killed him. At the same time, the truth is that the person killed by Udham Singh was Michael Francis O'Dwyer. That means Udham Singh had killed Dwyer who supported it.
