Question

Indians living in America and Canada had established the ______ organisation.
A) India House
B) Abhinav Bharat
C) Anusheelan Samiti
D) Ghadar

Answer 1

Hint: The people who reside in Canada but their ancestors are of Indian origin are known by the term Indo Canadian. The term was used to avoid any confusion that might occur with the indigenous people of Canada.

Complete answer: Canada contains the world’s eighth-largest Indian diaspora. The largest group of Indian Canadians are from Punjab which accounts for 50% of the Indo-Canadian population. They are found in the provinces of Ontario, and British Columbia and in Alberta and Quebec with the majority of them being foreign-born.
The Ghadar Movement was a 20th-century international political movement which was formed by overseas Indians residing in America and Canada to remove the British colonial domination in India. The early members were composed mostly of Punjab Indians who lived and worked on the West Coast of the United States and Canada, but the movement later spread to India and other Indian diasporic communities around the world. The official date when the party was founded was 15th July 1913 in Astoria, Oregon with the Ghadar headquarters and Hindustan Ghadar newspaper based in San Francisco, California.
When the World War came to an end, the members of the Ghadar party returned to Punjab to start the revolution for independent India. They started an uprising known as the Ghadar Mutiny, which was unsuccessful and 42 people were executed following the Lahore Conspiracy CaseTrial. From 1914 to 1917, Ghadarites launched anti-colonial actions with the help of Germans and Turkey known as the Hindu-German conspiracy.
Therefore, option D is correct.

Note: After the War the party was formally dissolved in 1948. The Ghadar Party was unable to overthrow the British rule in India but it inspired the members of Indian Independence Movement.
