Jalianwala Bagh massacre remains one of the biggest tragic events in India’s struggle for freedom. Every year, April 13 is not celebrated only as Baisakhi, but it also reminds the country of the spine-chilling event carrying the lives of many unarmed and innocent Indians in 1919. While we pay tribute to the lost life in the massacre, we also bend to those who revolted against the British and for cold works.

One of them was Chettur Shankaran Nair, who was in a state of power at that time and worked closely with the British government. There are some unknown facts about Malayali barrister here who chose to fight for their people despite being in close quarters with the British.
