Ghadar Movement: Key Facts Analysis

This question asks us to evaluate the accuracy of three statements regarding the Ghadar Movement.

Statement 1: Ghadar Movement Start

The first statement claims that the Ghadar Movement began in 1913 in San Francisco. Historical records confirm that the Ghadar Party was indeed established in 1913 in San Francisco, USA. It was founded by Indian immigrants who were motivated to fight against British rule in India.

Statement 2: Founding Figure

The second statement identifies Sohan Singh Bhakna as the founder of the Ghadar Movement. Sohan Singh Bhakna was a significant leader and is widely recognized as the first president of the Ghadar Party. His role was crucial in the early stages and organization of the movement.

Statement 3: Name Origin

The third statement suggests that the movement derived its name from the weekly newspaper called 'Ghadar'. This is correct. The newspaper 'Ghadar' was published in Punjabi and Urdu, and later in other languages, serving as the primary organ of the movement. Its publication aimed to mobilize Indians globally for the cause of independence, and the movement itself became known by the name of its influential newspaper.

Conclusion on Statements

Based on historical evidence:

  • Statement 1 is correct regarding the start year (1913) and location (San Francisco).
  • Statement 2 is correct as Sohan Singh Bhakna was a key founder and the first president.
  • Statement 3 is correct as the movement's name was inspired by the 'Ghadar' newspaper.

Since all three statements are accurate, the correct option includes all of them.
