"Created by the Asian Indians of the U.S. West Coast, Ghadar's aim was nothing less than the armed overthrow of British rule in India. The group included intellectuals such as (Har) Dyal as well as students, but its ranks were the laboring Punjabi men who worked the (Columbia River) region's mills and farms. Men from the length of the Columbia River and beyond filled the hall that May in Astoria. Within a year of the meeting, hundreds of Punjabis, overwhelmingly laborers from the West Coast led by Sohan Singh Bhakna from Portland, returned to India with the hope of sparking an insurrection against British rule. Most were promptly captured, detained, tried or executed." </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Astoria's City Council later issued an official proclamation and plans swiftly went into motion for a two-day event to support a commemoration of the Ghadar Party's founding meeting, embracing the opportunity to bring another piece of the city's immigrant history to light. The two-day event will include film screenings, a panel discussion, a walking tour and other commemorative activities.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
