Gadar is a Punjabi word which means (mutiny or revolution). Many Punjabis, both Sikhs and Hindus, were sent to Canada at the turn of the century to work as labourers. Meeting with the same sort of racism they had grown up in their own homeland, many of them crossed over into the United States where they experienced their first taste of the sort of freedom that the American Revolution had brought to the United states, a century or more before after winning their freedom from India.
