"Forerunner of India's freedom struggle, the Ghadr Party had a bold and visionary mission: the liberation of India from the despotic colonial rule of the British. To achieve their goal, they mobilized powerful militant resistance to imperialism, and successfully persuaded and inspired 8000 Indians already settled abroad to return home to liberate their motherland. . Ghadrites wanted a world free from imperialist domination and from the corrosive degradation of colonial rule. Their biggest achievement had been to unite diverse religious communities in India in a common struggle, and grow a thoroughly secular political consciousness. This commemorative book, Ghadr Movement and India's Anti-Imperialist Struggle, marks the culmination of the year-long program of activities and projects undertaken by Progressive Peoples Foundation of Edmonton, dedicated to the celebration of the first centenary of the Ghadr movement.
