15 January - Saifuddin Kitchlew birth anniversary

 


Saifuddin Kitchlew was a prominent Indian freedom fighter known for his involvement in the Indian independence movement. He was born on 15 January 1888, in Amritsar, Punjab, India, and passed away on 09 October 1963.

Kitchlew played a significant role in the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre of 1919, a tragic event in Indian history. He was one of the leaders who organized a public meeting in Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, to protest against repressive British laws. The British colonial administration, under the command of General Reginald Dyer, responded by ordering troops to open fire on the peaceful gathering, resulting in hundreds of innocent deaths and injuries.

Kitchlew's activism and leadership in the freedom struggle continued throughout his life. He was associated with various political organizations, including the Indian National Congress, and actively participated in campaigns for India's independence from British colonial rule.

Saifuddin Kitchlew's contributions to India's struggle for freedom and his courage in the face of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre are remembered and honored in Indian history. His legacy serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like him in the pursuit of India's independence.
