The headquarters of Ghadar Movement/Party were at
Explanation
The Ghadar Movement, also known as the Pacific Coast Hindustan Association, was founded in 1913 by Lala Hardayal and Sohan Singh Bhakna [1]. The party's headquarters were established in San Francisco, California, and were famously known as Yugantar Ashram [3]. This location served as the central hub for the movement's revolutionary activities, including the publication of their journal, 'Ghadar', which first appeared on November 1, 1913 [1]. The headquarters initially operated from 436 Hill Street before moving to 5 Wood Street, which is now the site of the Gadar Memorial Hall. San Francisco was chosen due to its significant Indian immigrant population and its role as a base for activists seeking to liberate India from British colonial rule through armed rebellion. While the movement had roots in Portland and Astoria, the official headquarters remained in San Francisco.
