    Ans. The Connect is our good 'ol 'Old Monk'


    But, Mohan Meakin Breweries is also accepted as a answer.

    Dude it's funny that only a couple of days back me and my frnd was discussing the legend of Old Monk

    this is i think the answer :

    1. Mohan Meakin Breweries set up in 1820s by Edward Dyer.
    2. the pic seems to be of Muree

    3. Jalianwala Bagh memorial
    4. Gen. Reginald Edward Dyer, born 1864. Though could not establish it i think Gen Dyer is the son of Edward Dyer going by the name and the birthyear.

    might be wrong

    i'll be honest did a lot of googling with this one :)

    Its Mohan Meakin Limited or Mohan Meakin Brewery, the manufacturer of Old Monk Rum
    Pic 1. Logo of the company
    Pic 2. Kasauli hill station where it all started.
    Pic 3. Jallianwala Bagh
    Pic 4. General Dyer(though the Company was started as Dyer Breweries by Edward Dyer, I dont know whether General Dyer was related to him or not)

    The connect is Edward Abraham Dyer father of the infamous Reginald Dyer. Founder of the first breweries in India.

    1st pic is of the logo of Mohan Meakin Breweries. It was established by Edward Abraham Dyer at Kasauli.

    I am guessing the 2nd pic is of the so called "New Brewery" at Shimla also established by Edward Dyer later on in his life.

    The 3rd and 4th pics are giveaways, being the Jalianwallah Bagh Memorial and Reginald Dyer himself.

    Mohan Meakin is a group of companies started by Edward Dyer. Edward Dyer had set up first brewery(later incorporated as Dyer Brewery) at Kasauli(Himachal Pradesh). Edward Dyer's son Reginald Dyer ordered British soldiers to open fire on gathering of people at Jallianwala Bagh. 3rd pic shows Jallianwala Bagh Memorial
