Ghadr Redirect and Disambiguation
This page receives redirects from Ghadr. That's fine, but there is a Ghadr missle in the news lately that probably deserves a disambiguation page. Can someone with more skills create this? ThreeE 21:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, no...
"The Ghadar party commanded a loyal following the province of Punjab, but many of its most prominent activists were forced into exile to Canada and the United States." - Actually the Ghadar party organized abroad first (being founded in the US by the emigrants there) and decided to go back when the World War started. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.73.90.11 (talk) 20:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, The Ghadar Party didn't command any loyal following in Punjab as - to quote noted Indian historian Bipan Chandra (from his book India's Struggle for Independence) - "the Punjabis were in no mood to join the romantic adventure of the Ghadar". He further sources his information from Sohan Singh Josh's  Baba Sohan  Singh Bhakna: Life of the Founder of the Ghadar Party and writes that "Chief Khalsa Diwan proclaiming its loyalty to the sovereign (British Government), declared them (referring to Ghadar revolutionaries) to be fallen Sikhs and criminals, and helped the Government to track them down". --Altonego (talk) 18:47, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

The writer of this page is very sad man
In 1915 they conducted terrorist activities in central Punjab and attempted to organize uprisings but their attempts were crushed by the British Government.

What do you mean "they conducted terrorist activities in central punjab" ... you mean against say your british fellows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.198.101.127 (talk) 01:42, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Reference problem
The "Etymology" section begins:

Ghadar is an Urdu word derived from Arabic which means "revolt" or "rebellion." As Kartar Singh Sarabha, one of the founders of the party, wrote in the first issue: [then a quoted passage with no reference}

First issue of what, pray tell. We can only surmise. Dadofsam (talk) 01:53, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm new to Wikipedia, but this article reads very poorly in English and is lacking citations for several claims including its list of founding members. There are minor inconsistencies that need to be fixed such as the spelling of Har Dayal. More concerning though, the first sentence is confusing and factually misleading "The Ghadar Party (Punjabi: ਗ਼ਦਰ ਪਾਰਟੀ) was an Indian revolutionary organisation primarily founded by Indians." Why the double repetition of Indian? What sort of revolutionary? And most importantly, it was not an Indian organization, but an American one, founded in Oregon in 1913, by expatriate Indians. I would like to begin to fix some of these problems. Thanks. Mr Specific (talk) 15:56, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Mr. Specific

Problems
This page is kind of a mess. The first sentence "The Ghadar Party was an Indian revolutionary organisation primarily founded by Indians" is redundant and not informative at all. The Ghadar party was founded entirely by South Asians, but it was a transnational movement that was founded and based out of the United States. Also "revolutionary organisation" is too vague to describe the party. Also much of the material is poorly sourced. There is no source for the long list of "founders" of the party, which seems unnecessary anyway, since many are not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Specific (talk • contribs) 04:29, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, no... #2

Sentence is not meaningful
Something is missing in the paragraph "Following the voyage of the Komagata Maru in 1914, a direct challenge to Canadian anti-Indian immigration laws, several thousand Indians resident in the United States sold their business and homes ready to drive the British from India. The British government respond by passing the, However, Har Dayal had fled to Europe concerned that the U.S. authorities would hand him over to the British." How dod British government respond. How is delling business and homes will deive british from India? 72.53.205.154 (talk) 21:06, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
