Michael Francis O'Dwyer was an Irish ICS officer and later the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab, British India, between 1913 and 1919. He is often confused with Reginald Dyer — British officer responsible for the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. However, O’Dwyer shares the blame too! 2/10
It must be noted that the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre happened during his O’Dwyer’s administration. Infact, his order to arrest Saifuddin Kitchlew and Dr Satyapal was what led to the crowd gathering in Amritsar’s Jallianwala Bagh. 3/10
