Indian Revolutionary Udham Singh Assassinated Michael O'Dwyer
The question asks to identify the Indian revolutionary who assassinated Michael O'Dwyer. Michael O'Dwyer was the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab during the British Raj and is infamous for his role in sanctioning the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919.
Michael O'Dwyer Assassination
- The assassination of Michael O'Dwyer was carried out by the revolutionary Udham Singh.
- O'Dwyer was shot by Udham Singh on March 13, 1940, at the Caxton Hall in London.
- This act was carried out by Udham Singh as an act of revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, which O'Dwyer had justified.
- Udham Singh was later tried and executed in London in 1940.
Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, and Rajguru were prominent revolutionaries involved in other significant actions against British rule, notably the killing of John P. Saunders, but they did not assassinate Michael O'Dwyer.
Therefore, the correct identification is Udham Singh.
