The brave heart martyr Sardar Udham Singh who laid down his life for the country and was hanged till death on July 31, 1940, in the United Kingdom.

Udham Singh avenged the death of several innocent people, who died in the Jallianwala massacre, by assassinating the conspirator Michael O-Dwyer on March 13, 1940.

Ironically, the grandson of Udham Singh, Jeet Singh is working as a lowly labourer in Punjab.

It is astonishing that while a man gave up his life for the country, the nation is not even standing by him let alone the compensation. Udham Singh could have sold his consciousness by confessing to the crime to the British government and naming other fellow revolutionaries, but he rather chose to be hanged.

Jeet Singh is living in the Sangrur district of Punjab along with his two sons. Jeet is a labourer and he has to work in demeaning conditions.
