Hindustan Ghadar Movement

The Hindustan Ghadar Movement was an early 20th-century revolutionary effort by Indians abroad, primarily in North America and Southeast Asia, aiming to overthrow British colonial rule in India. Founded in 1913 by Indian émigrés, it promoted armed resistance, nationalism, and unity among Indians. The movement sought independence through revolutionary activities, including dissemination of propaganda, organizing revolts, and supporting insurgencies. Despite limited direct action, it played a role in inspiring future independence efforts. The Ghadar Movement symbolized defiance against British dominance and contributed to the broader Indian struggle for freedom.
