Kesari Chapter 2 - The Untold Story Of Jallianwala Bagh True Story
Kesari Chapter 2 - The Untold Story Of Jallianwala Bagh is based on a true story. As per reports, Kesari Chapter 2 will revolve around the fight by barrister C Sankaran Nair to uncover the truth behind the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Who was C Sankaran Nair and what did he do to expose the British from the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre?
Chettur Sankaran Nair was an Indian lawyer and politician who served as the Advocate-General of Madras from 1906 to 1908, as a puisne judge in the Madras High Court from 1908 to 1915, and as a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council from 1915 to 1919. He played a key role in the country's struggle for independence.
During the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair was a well-known public figure serving as the only Indian member of the Viceroy’s Executive Council, the highest governing body in British India. Having heard about the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, Chettur Sankaran Nair resigned from his post in protest.
It is pertinent to mention here that reports suggest that Nair also fought a high-profile defamation case against the then Lieutenant-Governor of Punjab, Sir Michael O'Dwyer. For those who are unaware, Michael O'Dwyer called Reginald Dyer's action at Jallianwala Bagh Massacre 'correct'.
