idiom: Things will be extreme and will be reversed , which means that things will develop to the extreme and will inevitably transform into the opposite direction. From "Lüshi Chunqiu·Bozhi", the original text is " is complete and must be missing, and must be reversed if it is extreme. "
This story I want to share with you today, spans the century and has gone through vicissitudes, but it is inspiring. It can even be written into the "Biography of Assassin" in Indian history.
Since 1757, Britain began its invasion of India through war. By 1849, Britain completed its conquest of India.
For hundreds of years, the Indian people have been oppressed. In terms of industry and agriculture, India has become an important resource supply and commodity dumping market for Britain to develop the industrial revolution. Clothing, tea and other items have made Britain a fortune and profitable.
Military, Indian soldiers were recruited in large numbers. During the battle in alone, the British federal army had more than 1.3 million Indian soldiers.
At the tactical level, these troops have extremely low levels, lack of food and backward equipment, and are usually cannon fodder characters who charge and fill ammunition in the battlefield.
In contrast, Britain actually portrayed the death of death as the glory of fighting for the British Empire .
They said shamelessly: build roads for India, provide education, and employment opportunities to develop the Indian economy to try to make tricks and fool the past.
As time goes by, more and more Indian people have come to their sense of freedom and independence.
Building roads and employment opportunities are nothing more than facilitating the UK's commodity economy. The schools built provide education that learns the British language and text, which is a cultural erosion.
In order to suppress and consolidate dominance, the British colonial authorities issued an act to suppress Indian National Liberation Movement in 1919.
was drafted by a committee headed by British judge S.A. Rorat who works in India, and is called "Rolat Law" .
I specially checked the law. In layman's terms, it means giving British colonists unrealistic rights. The authorities can arbitrarily search, arrest and sentence any Indian citizen, and can be detained for a long time without passing the trial.
Is this more obscene than being naked and hooligan?
1919 On April 13, 1919, about 50,000 people held a rally in Zalenwara Garden, Amritsar City to protest the Lorat Law.
At 4 pm, Dell led 149 Gurkha and Sikh soldiers to the square. Before sunset, he ordered the armored vehicle to block the narrow entrance of the square and lead 105 soldiers into the square himself.
5:00:00:00, Dell ordered a shooting at the dense crowd.
According to figures released by the UK, 379 Indians died and more than 1,200 were injured in the incident. But India said the death toll far exceeds 800. It is known in history as Amritsar tragedy .
The violent suppression not only did not intimidate the mass movement, but instead aroused more fierce protests from the Indian people.
Amritsar tragedy became one of the direct reasons why Gandhi launched a national non-violent non-cooperation campaign from 1920 to 1922 and led to India's ultimate independence.
Having written this, the protagonist of our story is finally about to appear.
Udam Singh , was born in 1899. At the age of 5, his parents died and became orphans. He grew up in an orphanage in an orphanage in the second largest city of in Punjab Province.
and he was also one of the victims of the tragedy, but he survived by luck.
As adults, Singh devoted himself to the Indian independence movement and joined the Gadal Party to organize overseas Indians to overthrow colonial rule.
In 1927, Singh began to plan revenge on the British colonists, but unfortunately he was arrested and imprisoned for possessing weapons and ammunition and sentenced to five years in prison.
1931, Singh was released from prison. He is ready to continue his revenge plan.
The two top figures in the tragedy that year, Brigadier General Dell and Deputy Governor Michael O'Dwyer. Unfortunately, Brigadier General Dell had already died of a stroke in 1929, so Singer's goal was even clearer.
Michael Odwill served as the deputy governor of Punjab in the UK. During his tenure, he implemented cruel and high-pressure policies on the Indian people.
even after the Amritsar tragedy , he immediately sent a telegram to Brigadier General Dell, praising: "Your actions are correct!"
even after he retired and returned to the UK, he was still actively promoting the correctness of the British Empire's rule and colonization in public.
On March 13, 1940, Michael Odwill, who was in the limelight, gave a speech at the East India Association event held in the Caxton Hall in London.
Udam Singh did not miss the opportunity. After waiting for the speech to end, he strode forward and fired two shots at Odwill. One of the bullets was in the center and almost immediately killed him.
After completing the task, Singh did not escape from the scene.
instead calmly raised his hands and accepted the arrest with a smile.
Facing the interrogation, Singer replied: "I did this because I had resentment towards him. He deserved it. He was the real culprit. He wanted to smash the spirit of my people, so I smashed him. I have been trying to retaliate for the whole 21 years and I am glad I did the work. I am not afraid of death. I died for my country."
In July 1940, Singer was sentenced to death and was hanged in Pentonville Prison.
Udam Singh With his own strength, he completed his revenge and redemption.
He said that India's national heroes not only won the worship of the Indian people, but also received international support. His behavior is the best proof of oath of freedom and equality.
After World War II , India was officially sovereign and independent. Singh's anti-oppression and assassination campaign awakened the fighting spirit of the Indian people and made an indelible contribution.
"Udam Singh" is an Indian movie released in 2021 and is also translated as "Indian Assassin". If the historical assassin has a ranking, I want to put him first.
The original film lasts 164 minutes, and although the content is long, it is not boring. Some shots are too bloody and violent and difficult to show off. After watching this film patiently, you will have an inexplicable force.
Current Douban movie rating: 7.8
Recommendation index: ★★★★
At the end of the film, the trial process of Brigadier General Dell and Deputy Governor Michael O'Dwyer was restored. They were arrogant and unrepentant.
In this world, there are always some people who regard themselves as noble and lose their human nature and regard their lives as a must. So their fate is not worthy of sympathy.
ends here, the introduction should end. However, an international news popped up from the hot search on Weibo : Sunak was elected British Prime Minister .
Who is Sunak?
He is an Indian, nearly 42 years old.
First of all, we must admit that Sunak's superiority is an inspirational story. Secondly, I think he is also a qualified assassin. And the significance of his success is far greater than that of the Obama and election as the president of the United States.
I don’t understand politics and I don’t intend to talk about it. I just think the event itself is interesting.
When the British oppressed the Indians, now the Indians lead the British.
. What is the idiom I mentioned in the head of the article called? Well, this is a serious film review!
