Sarabha, born on May 24, 1896, in Ludhiana, Punjab, moved to the United States at 16, where he experienced racial discrimination that fueled his nationalist sentiments. He became involved with the Ghadar Party, which aimed to overthrow British rule in India. His efforts included editing the party's newspaper, which spread revolutionary ideas.
