Dear Listers, The Ghadr (Revolutionary) Party and its activities is a well-known but not much discussed part of the struggle of India against the British Rule, partly because the young men who were its followers were influenced by the Marxist ideology and also believed in violent struggle and both these have been out of favor with the mainstream struggle that followed the Gandhi-Nehru-Congress line. One interesting story out of the Ghadr movement is that of Dr Pandurang Sadashiv Khankhoje, a young man from Vardha near Nagpur. In the 1920's he had visited Moscow at the invitation of the Communist Party along with a few coworkers. He later visited Constantinople and eventually landed in the US. He had to leave the US too and went to Mexico and settled there. He obtained a doctorate in Agricultural Sciences there and served the Mexican Government for several years till his retirement. I believe the Mexicans still remember him for the significant contribution that he made to the Green Revolution there. After retirement he came back to India in the 1960's and settled in Nagpur. I remember to have read all this in the 1960's when his somewhat exotic life-story drew attention from newspapers. Arvind Kolhatkar, Toronto, March 07, 2008.
