Gadar Story Lookup

A letter from Hong Kong Police to Punjab Government.

Newly surfaced intelligence reports expose a controversial chapter in Bhagwan Singh Gyanee’s life, detailing his undocumented entry into the U.S., his flight to Panama, and his diversion of Ghadar Party resources toward personal relationships and legal troubles. The evidence raises serious questions about his integrity and his betrayal of the workers who financed the Ghadar movement.

An April 1932 article from Bhagwan Singh Gyanee’s U.S. lecture tour shows him adopting a strong anti‑war stance, a sharp departure from his earlier Ghadar Party years when he promoted armed revolt and benefited from German support. His past actions—including posing with a sword in Japan to symbolize revolutionary violence—contrast sharply with his later pacifist rhetoric aimed at American audiences. The shift suggests that Bhagwan Singh adjusted his message to suit whoever he was speaking to, even when it meant contradicting the revolutionary ideals he once publicly embraced.

In 1958, Bhagwan Singh Gyanee returned to Punjab at the invitation of Chief Minister Partap Singh Kairon, who sought to use him to counter a major farmers’ uprising against the Betterment Levy tax. Instead of supporting the peasant movement—led in part by Ghadar Party founder Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna—Gyanee aligned himself with the state, urging force against protesters. His actions sharply contradicted the revolutionary ideals he once represented, prompting Bhakna to issue a public rebuke condemning Gyanee’s interference in Indian politics and warning him not to tarnish the Ghadar Party’s legacy.

Bhagwan Singh Pritam’s trajectory from revolutionary leadership within the Ghadar Party to his later reinvention as ‘Yogi Bhagwan’ illustrates a complex and controversial shift—from militant anti‑colonial activism to the promotion of yogic self‑culture and spiritual instruction.

Bhai Santokh Singh was a resident of village Dhardeo, District Amritsar. His father lived in Malaya State and he was born there too. His formative years were spent in Malaya and got his primary education there too. Later, he came to India and got admitted to Khalsa College Amritsar for higher education. It had been two years since he came here and he got an urge to go to America for education. Around 1911, he arrived in New York and from there he went to Canada. After listening to the miseries of the Canadian migrant Indians, he dropped the idea of studies and started to participate in the political affairs. For his living, he started labour jobs.
