Lal Salaams: Ghadar and the Bolshevik Muhajirin --Epilogue --Notes --Bibliography --IndexIn Haj to Utopia, Maia Ramnath tells the dramatic story of Ghadar, the Indian anticolonial movement that attempted overthrow of the British Empire. Founded by South Asian immigrants in California, Ghadar-which is translated as "mutiny"-quickly became a global presence in East Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and East Africa. Ramnath brings this epic struggle to life as she traces Ghadar's origins to the Swadeshi Movement in Bengal, its establishment of headquarters in Berkeley, California, and its fostering by anarchists in London, Paris, and Berlin. Linking Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1914 to Ghadar's declaration of war on Britain, Ramnath vividly recounts how 8,000 rebels were deployed from around the world to take up the battle in Hindustan. Haj to Utopia demonstrates how far-flung freedom fighters managed to articulate a radical new world order out of seemingly contradictory ideas.California world history library ;19.NationalismHistory20th centurySocial movementsHistory20th centuryPolitical activistsHistory20th centurySocial reformersHistory20th centuryRevolutionariesHistory20th centuryWorld politics1900-1918World politics1919-1932IndiaPolitics and government20th centuryIndiaHistoryAutonomy and independence movements20th century europe.20th century india.20th century politics.asian diaspora.british empire and india.british history.british rule.california history.california immigration.european history.german empire.global radicalism.government and governing.history of india.imperial history.imperialism and nationalism.indian colonialism.indian history.indians and california.political radicalism.politics.radical political thought.radical thought.south asian immigrants.us history.west coast.NationalismHistorySocial movementsHistoryPolitical activistsHistorySocial reformersHistoryRevolutionariesHistoryWorld politicsWorld politics320.540954Ramnath Maia1973-1501452MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786710303321Haj to Utopia3728578UNINA
