Ghadr Movement is a golden chapter in the history of our freedom movement .The movement was raised in the foreign-land, USA, to finish the British rule in India. It was the second national armed struggle fought by the Ghadr freedom fighters after 1857 rebellion against the foreign rule. The British Empire crushed it mercilessly and ferociously. However, the Ghadr Party (founded in 1913) and army soldiers’ role in the movement could not take appropriate place in the mainstream history of free India.
Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh said in January 2013 at Kochi on Pravasi Bhartiya Divas that we are celebrating the centenary of Ghadr Movement this year. He said that the Ghadr Memorial in San Francisco will be upgraded into a “functional museum and library with a sculpture to honour the heros of the great movement.”
