Who was the hero of the Jallianwala Bagh

No single individual can be designated as "the hero" of Jallianwala Bagh, as the massacre was a tragedy involving thousands of innocent victims rather than a battle with conventional heroes. However, several figures emerged whose courage and sacrifice came to symbolize resistance against colonial oppression. Udham Singh stands prominently among them—a young man who witnessed the massacre firsthand and spent 21 years planning his revenge, eventually assassinating Michael O'Dwyer (the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab who had endorsed Dyer's actions) in London in 1940. His act was seen by many as retribution for the countless innocent lives lost.

Additionally, the collective heroism of those who peacefully assembled despite British oppression, along with leaders like Dr. Satyapal and Dr. Saifuddin Kitchlew whose arrests triggered the protests, deserve recognition. Rabindranath Tagore renounced his knighthood in protest of the massacre, while Gandhi intensified his non-cooperation movement. The real heroes were the ordinary men, women, and children who stood firm in their demand for dignity and freedom, and those who refused to let their sacrifice be forgotten, ultimately channeling the tragedy into fuel for India's independence movement.
