The Indian who called out a massacre - and shamed the British Empire

Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair, an influential Indian figure during British rule, bravely spoke out against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919, where hundreds of unarmed civilians were killed by British soldiers. Nair's criticism of colonial officials led to a significant libel case that shed light on the atrocity. Recognized for his independent views and contributions to social reform, Nair's story was recently brought to the spotlight by a Bollywood movie, showcasing his defiance against British oppression and his advocacy for Indian self-governance.
