Abstract

This article explores the links forged between members of the Ghadar Movement and Mexican radical activists and organisers in North America during the early twentieth century. It argues that during the opening two decades of the century, Mexico and its convulsed politics offered radical anti-colonial Indian activists in North America an inspiring example and a source of important tactical, symbolic and ideological resources in their fight against imperialism and oppression. By exploring the points of contact, proximity and affinity between Indian and Mexican radicals in the years prior to and immediately after 1917, I argue that the turbulent politics of revolutionary Mexico and the thrust of Indian anti-colonialism came together in marginal but meaningful ways at a time of global revolutionary change.

抽象的

本文探讨了20世纪初在北美的Ghadar运动成员与墨西哥激进活动家和组织者之间建立的联系。它认为，在本世纪的前二十个世纪中，墨西哥及其动荡不安的政治为北美激进的反殖民印度激进分子提供了令人鼓舞的榜样，并为他们与帝国主义和压迫作斗争提供了重要的战术，象征和意识形态资源。通过探讨1917年之前和之后的几年中印度和墨西哥激进分子之间的接触，亲近和亲和力，我认为革命墨西哥的动荡政治和印度反殖民主义的主旨在边际但有意义的地方融合在一起。全球革命性变革的时代。
