He himself saw the tragedy of Jallianwale Bagh incident on 13th April 1919 on Baisakhi day with his own eyes. And after seeing the bloody scene of that day, he vowed that he would go to his house and kill the culprit of this incident and avenge the death of the unarmed people.
This dream was fulfilled on March 13, 1940 and he was hanged on July 31, 1940 in Pattonville (London) Jail. He said that we need to bring changes in the system that is still going on in today's time and by bringing forward the thought of Shaheed Udham Singh about the time of slavery. Even today, millions of people are suffering from different kinds of hardships, today the youth should also be ready for such a struggle that can fulfill the dreams of martyrs if their thinking is accepted. Paying homage, he said that today we should read about the life struggle of Shaheed Udham Singh and other revolutionaries and put it into practice.
