In "The Haj to Utopia", Maia Ramnath tells the dramatic story of
Ghadar, the Indian anticolonial movement that attempted overthrow
of the British Empire. Founded by South Asian immigrants in
California, Ghadar - which is translated as 'mutiny' - quickly
became a global presence in East Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and
East Africa. Ramnath brings this epic struggle to life as she
traces Ghadar's origins to the Swadeshi Movement in Bengal, its
establishment of headquarters in Berkeley, California, and its
fostering by anarchists in London, Paris, and Berlin. Linking
Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1914 to Ghadar's
declaration of war on Britain, Ramnath vividly recounts how 8,000
rebels were deployed from around the world to take up the battle in
Hindustan. "The Haj to Utopia" demonstrates how far-flung freedom
fighters managed to articulate a radical new world order out of
seemingly contradictory ideas.
