Correct Option
The Ghadar Movement was primarily organized by Indian expatriates residing in North America, specifically in the United States and Canada. The Ghadar Party was founded in 1913 in San Francisco, USA, by prominent figures such as Lala Har Dayal and Sohan Singh Bhakna. Its core objective was to liberate India from British colonial rule through an armed uprising. During the outbreak of World War I, Ghadar revolutionaries actively sought to instigate revolts among Indian soldiers serving in the British army. The movement's influence extended across the West Coast of the United States, Canada, and even to some regions in the Far East.
Incorrect Options
-
Central America: The Ghadar Movement's operational base was primarily in North America (United States and Canada), not Central America.
-
West America: This is not a standard geographical designation. While the Ghadar Party was founded on the West Coast of North America (San Francisco), "West America" as a distinct region is not accurate in this context. The broader geographical base was North America.
-
South America: There is no historical evidence of significant Ghadar revolutionary activities or bases in South America.
