Who was Sir Chettur Shankaran Nair? Firebrand’s lawyer played by Akshay Kumar in ‘Kesari Chapter 2’

The teaser effectively employs the sound to recreate the horrors of April 3 in Amritsar, when Razinald Dior, a British brigadier-general, ordered the soldiers to set fire to a unarmed crowd of more than 15,000 Indians gathered at the Zelianwala Bagh during the Baisakhi day. The mob gathered to peacefully oppose the Rolaut Act. The murders shook the world and became a rally point for anti -British spirit in India.

At the time of Jalianwala Bagh massacre, CS Nair served as the only Indian representative in the Education Minister and Viceroy’s Executive Council – a unique honor. The scale of the massacre and impurities influenced him deeply. Like Rabindranath Tagore, who abandoned his knighthud in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, CS Nair gave his pain in the works of the British government and resigned from his post in protest. His resignation inspired the British for immediate change, such as the dismissal of martial law in Punjab.

CS Nair later wrote a book, Gandhi and anarchy (1922), where he criticized the Lieutenant Government of Punjab Michael O’Whire during the massacre. He accused the O’Dire of removing atrocities through his oppressive administration. This, in turn, invited a complaint suit from O’Dwyer, who was then returned to England after being dismissed from Punjab. This is the case, O’Dwyer v. NAIR heard in the High Court in London, that Kesari chapter 2 Wants to play.

“Don’t forget that you are still slaves of the British Empire,” a judge explains the character of Kumar in the teaser, inviting a clearly – “f ** k you – who you – from you – outrageous lawyer. Indian defendant, and the decision of the jury was not unanimous.

CS Nair died in Madras in 1934, O’Dwire was murdered by Indian revolutionary Udham Singh in Caxon Hall, London in 1940. A Bollywood film, Sardar Udham, Starring Vicky Kaushal, was earlier built on the subject.
