Explanation

The Ghadar Movement was a revolutionary international political movement founded in 1913 in San Francisco, USA [2]. It was established by Indian expatriates, primarily Punjabi immigrants, to overthrow British rule in India [1]. The movement was founded by Sohan Singh Bhakna, who served as its first president, alongside intellectual leaders like Lala Hardayal [3]. The organization was originally known as the Pacific Coast Hindustan Association but became popularly known as the Ghadar Party after its weekly journal, 'Ghadar' [1]. This newspaper began publication on November 1, 1913, in San Francisco and was subsequently published in several Indian languages, including Urdu, Punjabi, and Hindi, to spread revolutionary ideology among the Indian diaspora [1]. Consequently, all three statements regarding its origin, leadership, and nomenclature are historically accurate.
