The Ghadar Party was an organization founded by Punjabi Indians, in the United States and Canada with the aim to gaining India's independence from British rule.
The party was built around the weekly paper The Ghadar, which carried the caption on the masthead: Angrezi Raj Ka Dushman (an enemy of the British rule).
Key members of the party included Lala Har Dayal, Sohan Singh Bhakna,Kartar Singh Sarabha, and Rash behari 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.
After the conclusion of the war, the party in America split into Communist and Anti-Communist factions. The party was formally dissolved in 1948.
