The Ghadar Party ( Punjabi: ਗ਼ਦਰ ਪਾਰਟੀ; Hindustani: ग़दर पार्टी (Devanagari), غدر پارٹی (Nastaleeq)) was an organization founded by Punjabi Indians,[1] in the United States and Canada with the aim to liberate India from British rule. Key members included Sohan Singh Bhakna, Kartar Singh Sarabha, and Rashbehari Bose.
After the outbreak of World War I, Ghadar party members returned to Punjab to agitate for rebellion alongside the Babbar Akali Movement. In 1915 they conducted revolutionary activities in central Punjab and attempted to organize uprisings, but their attempts were crushed by the British Government.[1] After the conclusion of the war, the party in America split into Communist and Anti-Communist factions. The party was formally dissolved in 1948.[1]
