The spirit of patriotism is flaring high ahead of the release of the Akshay Kumar starrer Kesari Chapter 2. The actor along with his co-stars R Madhavan and Ananya Panday, visited the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab, to pay their respects to the victims of the horrifying massacre. For the unversed, the tragedy had taken place on April 13, 1919, and this year marked 106 years since the fateful incident which remains one of the darkest chapters of Indian history.
Innumerable innocent souls were brutally murdered under General Dyer’s orders who had reportedly gathered at Jallianwala Bagh to celebrate the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi. Some even jumped into the well to escape the firing, only to meet an equally tragic end. Dyer ordered his British troops to continue firing until the ammunition ran out.
This led to C Sankaran Nair, a senior member of the Viceroy, resigning from the same and filing a case of genocide against the British empire. The riveting story of Kesari Chapter 2 chronicles one man’s fight against the Crown against several obstacles. During their visit to the Jallianwala Bagh, the team of Kesari Chapter 2 also revealed why it is extremely important for people to know the story of C Sankaran Nair and his extensive battle in the courtroom against the British empire.
