Original artwork description:

Madan Lal Dhingra
Belonging to a well established and wealthy family of Punjab, which was loyal to the British, Madanlal went to England in the year 1906 to study engineering. While in London, he came in contact with Veer Savarkar and his associates. A man of deep conviction and firm determination, he realized that sacrifices and actions were needed, not words, in order to gain India’s liberation.

On 1 July 1909, at the meeting of the National Indian Association (an organization of Indian loyalists) he shot Curzon Wyllie dead. He made no attempt to escape and during the course of hearing of the case, he himself asked for death sentence. On being sentenced to death, he graciously thanked the judge. Such was the spirit of sacrifice of this brave freedom fighter of our soil.
