J. Slattery (Author) F.C. Isemonger (Author)
Synopsis

Four years before the Russian revolution took place, and eight years before Mahatma Gandhi launched his first civil disobedience movement against the British, thousands of peasants and workers of Indian origin living in North America founded Gadar Party with the aim of waging an armed revolution to free India from the British yoke. Inspired by the intellectuals like Lala Har Dayal, aided by young dedicated students like Kartar Singh Sarabha and Vishnu Govind Pingle, it became the first mass movement. Gadar weekly was their organ, Gadar was their means and total Independence was their goal. During the World War I thousands of them gave up their jobs to return to India and sacrificed every thing they had for India's freedom. Dreaming of a free India based on equality, social and economic justice, political freedom and devoid of sectarian bigotry, they worked very hard. This book is the report of their brave deeds and sacrifices prepared by their opponents, the then British Police of Punjab. First printed in 1919, it is reprinted now for the benefit of the scholars and general public. It's part of a series 'Documents of the Gadar Movement'. Future volumes are planned.
