D) All the above

Answer 1

Hint: In the early 1900s, the Sikhs and Hindu Punjabis in the United States began the Ghadar movement to free India from British rule. Ghadar literally means " revolution " it was an early 20th-century movement to end British rule in their homeland of India among Indians, mostly Sikhs living in North America.

Complete answer:
It was named after a weekly paper written by Ghadar in commemoration of the 1857 Uprising. Sohan Singh Bhakna and Lala Hardayal founded it. Its goal was, through an armed struggle, to get rid of the colonial super-power and to create a national democratic government on the sub-continent. Approximately half the Punjabis served in the British army. With a series of laws aimed at limiting South Asians' entrance into the country and restricting the political rights of those already in the country, the Canadian government agreed to reduce this influx with a series of laws. Some members of the Ghadar party returned to Punjab after the outbreak of World War I in 1914 to incite an armed revolt for Indian independence. With the assistance of Germany and Ottoman Turkey, known as the HinduGerman Plot, the Ghadarites continued underground anti-colonial activities from 1914 to 1917, which led to a sensational trial in San Francisco in 1917.
Options A, B and D can be easily eliminated.
therefore, option C is correct.

Note: The party was established around the weekly Ghadar paper, with the title on the masthead: Angrezi Raj Ka Dushman (an enemy of the British rule). The Ghadar proclaimed that they wanted brave soldiers to stir up revolts in India.
