Discover more about Shaheed Madan Lal Dhingra Statue

The Shaheed Madan Lal Dhingra Statue is a poignant reminder of India's struggle for independence and the sacrifices made by its freedom fighters. Located in Amritsar, Punjab, the statue honors Madan Lal Dhingra, a revolutionary who assassinated Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie, a British political aide, in London in 1909. Dhingra, a young student in London, was deeply influenced by the nationalist movement and believed that assassinating British officials was a justifiable act of resistance against British rule. Born in Amritsar in 1883 to a well-to-do family, Dhingra studied in both India and England. While in London, he became associated with Indian nationalists like Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Dhingra's act of defiance and subsequent execution made him a martyr in the eyes of many Indians. Although his family disowned him for his revolutionary activities, Dhingra's remains were eventually returned to India in 1976 and cremated in Amritsar. The statue stands as a testament to Dhingra's courage and conviction, inspiring generations with his story of sacrifice. The surrounding park provides a space for reflection on the freedom struggle and the contributions of those who fought for India's independence. The statue is located near the Town Hall in Katra Ahluwalia, Amritsar. It serves as a focal point for paying homage to a man who gave his life for his country.
