In 1907, in the gathering storm of the First World War, a global
revolt against the British Raj was taking shape. A shadowy network
known as the Ghadar or Mutiny Movement plotted an Indian uprising
that spilled across Britain's Eastern Empire. In 1915, the snug
settlement of Singapore thus faced a mutiny by its garrison of
British Indian Army soldiers or sepoys. Stoked by Indian rebels
based in California, Sikh activists on a migrant voyage to Canada
to contest its race laws, a German sea raider, and renegades
preaching Muslim holy war, the 1915 Singapore sepoy mutiny fused
several plots against imperial power in the region. This book
reveals the hidden history of the mutiny and exposes the forces
that converged on the small island en-route to the revolt against
the British Empire in India. The story of the men and women behind
the world-wide rebellion and the Singapore mutiny is brought to
life in this thrilling non-fiction narrative that spotlights the
legacy of the forgotten uprisings.
