About this stamp
The Ghadar Party
India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 8 January 2013 for the centenary of the Ghadar Party, an international movement of expatriate Indians founded to overthrow British rule in India. It was created by revolutionaries living and working on the west coast of the United States and Canada, and its founding is dated to a meeting at Astoria, Oregon, on 15 July 1913; “Ghadar” means revolt.
The movement spread to India and to Indian communities around the world. Many of its leaders, among them Sohan Singh Bhakna, later carried their struggle into the Babbar Akali movement in Punjab after the First World War.
India Post has no brochure for this issue online, so this text draws on Wikipedia.
