    The Ghadar movement was established in 1913 by South Asian workers, predominantly Punjabi Sikhs, living in the United States and Canada who were inspired by the radical intellectual Lala Har Dayal. It was the first openly declared political struggle for complete Indian independence and sought to establish India as a secular democratic republic similar to the United States. The movement gained dominance among revolutionary young Indians living abroad between 1905-1920 but received less attention because it originated outside of India and was mainly led by Punjabi Sikh patriots.

    Ghadar Movement

    Ghadar is an Urdu word which means "revolt" or "rebellion." Established in early 1913, it
    was originated outside India, in Oregon and California and formalized on 1 November 1913
    in San Francisco, Ghadar Party was a group of South Asian, predominantly Punjabi (and
    especially Sikh) workers which had migrated to the US and Canada. The Ghadar party took
    inspiration from Lala Har Dayal, who was a radical intellectual. It was the first openly
    declared political struggle for the complete independence if India. The movement was
    dominant among the young revolutionary Indians living abroad during the period of 1905-
    1920. The young Indians were inspired by the hope of freedom, forming India a secular and
    democratic republic just like the USA. The reason behind the less attention towards the
    Ghadar movement can be attributed to the fact that the movement originated outside India
    and was mainly a movement of Punjabi Sikh patriots.
