Introduction
History is made by people as much as by forces beyond their control ...
Due to paucity of time and also because in many cases due to non-availability of information, not all Gadarities have been profiled. We will be obliged if we are pointed to sources where we can find requisite information. We hope to include them in the next edition.
There are several Gadarites whose bio-sketches were developed from one to three pages while there are others in whose case we could come up with much less information. Their fight for India’s liberation is praiseworthy and deserves highest respect. In no way, it should be equated to the length of their life story.
Most of the bio-sketches have been grouped under various conspiracy trials—Lahore, Burma and Hindu-German. Bio-sketches of Gadarites that were sentenced in the Ferozeshahr encounter have been grouped in the section titled Travesty of Justice.
Gadar is spelled differently by different authors. I have preferred to spell the same way as in Gadar Syndrome by Prof. Mark Juergensmeyer or in Indian Immigrants in USA by Prem Datta Varma.
