The exact moment of Ghadar's birth is hard to pinpoint, in part because parallel mobilizations were underway, arising from dual processes of political ferment.
The voyage of the Komagata Maru from March to September 1914 was the next key politicizing moment, an opportunity which the Ghadar party astutely identified in deploying its literature and propaganda to guide rising unrest that stemmed from race/class-based colonial oppression.

 The Ghadar Syndrome: Nationalism in an Immigrant Community   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Ghadar movement was a loosely-knit organization of expatriate Punjabis in North America, with headquarters in San Francisco, which printed revolutionary literature against British rule in India, and attempted to send arms and guerilla soldiers into India for an abortive revolutionary uprising planned for 1915.
Ghadar and other publications of the Ghadar movement which are extant or have been translated by the U.S. government and introduced as evidence during the trial of U.S.A. vs. Franz Bopp (now in the U.S. archives in San Bruno, California), are almost exclusively concerned with nationalist and anti-British issues.
It is not fair to describe the factional disputes within the Ghadar organization as Hindu versus Sikh; nonetheless, the death of Ram Chandra removed the last Hindu intellectual of significance from the movement's leadership.

 IREF
The major weakness of the Ghadar Party was its exceptionally poor sense of secrecy, which made it an easy target for British imperialism, armed as the latter was with the knowledge of the Ghadarites' plans, not to say a monstrous police and military machine for suppression of the Indian people.
The second weakness of the leadership of the Ghadar Party was its failure to understand the essence of imperialism.
Notwithstanding these weaknesses, the Ghadar movement, though cruelly suppressed by the British imperial authorities, left a rich revolutionary legacy and made an indelible mark on the freedom movement, inspiring a whole generation of revolutionaries with its courage and self-sacrificing heroism.

And, though Punjab was almost infamous during the years before the Ghadar rising for its inattention to nationalist politics and known for the loyalty of the Punjabi soldiers in the British Indian Army, the province was not totally without a tradition that could be identified as the antecedent of the Ghadar uprising.
The Ghadar rising in Punjab was especially threatening to the British, for the Sikhs were represented in the army in numbers vastly disproportionate to their percentage of the population.
Thus the Ghadar Party’s activities in Punjab, and those of other revolutionary and terrorist bodies in other parts of India, contributed to the increasing sense of insecurity among the British rulers, while other processes set in motion by the British themselves worked to hasten the end of the Raj.
