These are some of the original photographs of our great martyr Shaheed Udham Singh:
He travelled widely to acquire knowledge and gain experience, during the course of which time he established contacts with Indian and other revolutionaries and came to attain an internationalist outlook. His patriotic feelings, his burning desire to see India freed from the jackboot of British imperialism, in no way constituted a hindrance to his internationalism. It is evident, inter alia, from his last statement, at the end of his trial for the murder in Caxton Hall, London, on 13 March 1940, of Sir Michael 0′ Dwyer, the former Lt. Governor of Punjab-the butcher of the notorious Amritsar massacre.
