A groundbreaking new book is shedding light on a forgotten chapter of India’s freedom struggle—one that unfolded not in Delhi or Calcutta, but in the fields, factories, and courtrooms of early 20th-century America.

Titled "Let My Country Awake" and written by journalist and former Wall Street Journal correspondent Scott Miller, the book is set for release on Oct. 28 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. It traces the rise and fall of the Ghadar movement, a revolutionary group of Indian immigrants—primarily Sikh farmers and students—who launched an audacious campaign against British colonial rule from the American West Coast.
