Grudging admiration from the British Cabinet (17th Aug.the Martyer day ) Madanlal Dhingras martyrdom in London by killing Lord Karzon evoked the respect of some members of the British Cabinet. This was disclosed by Winston Churchill. Among the many memorable things Churchill had. Talking of Dhingra, Churchill said that there had been much discussion in the Cabinet about Madanlal Dhingra. Lloyd George had expressed to his highest admiration of Dhingras attitude as a patriot, in which he shared…He will be remembered two thousand years hence, as we remember Regulus and Caractacus and Plutarchs heroes and Churchill quoted with admiration Dhingras last words, as the finest, ever made in the name of patriotism… In an article written in ‘Vande Mataram’on 10 September 1909, Lala Hardayal wrote, “Dhingra, the immortal, has behaved at each stage of the trial like a hero of ancient times. England thinks she has killed Dhingra; in reality he lives forever and has given the death-blow to English Sovereignty in India.” Madam All Dhingras coffin was exhumed on 12 December 1976 in the presence of Nat war Singh, then Acting High Commissioner for India. This coffin too was flown back to India. Madam All Dhingra lives on in the hearts of his countrymen. Humble salutations to his memory! How unlucky we are ! that such Martyrs are hated in our country as MISGUIDED PATRIOTS ?
