Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 2008.

This dissertation describes the anti-colonial revolutionary activities of South Asians in Europe, East and West Asia and North America during the first few decades of the 20th Century, in the context of world-historical shifts wrought by the First World War and the Russian Revolution. A central character in the narrative is the Ghadar movement, based among immigrant laborers and students in California who attempted to liberate India through an armed uprising during the war. I focus upon the Indian revolutionaries' alliances both of instrumentality (sharing objectives) and affinity (sharing ideals) with various international actors and radical networks of the time, with particular attention to the complex interactions between the rhetoric and praxis of national liberation struggle, several forms of leftism, and Pan-Islamism. I argue that in addition to the Ghadar movement's contributions of prolific propaganda and celebrated action, its importance to the international movement was the role it played in facilitating links between these networks; and further, that what enabled Ghadar to serve that function was its eclectic synthesis of ideological elements and its unique conjunctural location.
