New Delhi:
The Indian government hopes to convert the Gadar Memorial in San
Francisco into a museum, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said
Thursday.
The Hindustan Gadar Party, founded in 1913, fought for India's
independence from its base in the US.
Chidambaram said the decision would go a long way in preserving
the legacy of the Gadar movement and enable researchers to study
it.
The Gadars were led by Lala Hardayal. A migrant to the US in 1911,
he tapped into the discontent among immigrant workers along the
Pacific Coast and brought many together, giving their unhappiness
a political colour.
The Gadar nationalists, however, were linked to Nazi Germany and
accused of treason.
In January 2012, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced that the
memorial in San Francisco would be converted into a museum, and
statues of Gadar members would come up.
