Gadar Party
"In the early months of World War I, an ambitious attempt to free their country was made by Indians living overseas - particulary in the United States and Canada. Although the overwhelming majority of the Ghadarites were Sikh and the centres of revolutionart activity were the Sikh temples in Canada, the United States, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore, many of the leaders were of other parties and from different parts of India - Har Dyal, Rash Bihari Bose, Barakatullah, Seth Husain Rahim, Tarak Nath Das and Vishnu Ganesh Pingley. A few of these Gadarites are alive today: Sohan Singh Bhakna and Bhagwan Singh in the Punjab; Gobind Bihari Lal in Los Angeles; others in different parts of the world, living in obscurity. The Ghadr was the first organised violent bid for freedom after the rising of 1857. Many hundreds paid the price with their lives."
