The 'Hindu-German conspiracy' that nearly shook the British Raj

During World War I, Indian revolutionaries and German agents conspired to incite an armed revolt against British rule. The Hindu-German Conspiracy, originating in the U.S., aimed to exploit Britain's wartime vulnerability. Revolutionaries sought resources from Germany, planning coordinated uprisings in India. However, British intelligence thwarted the plot, leading to arrests and the trial in San Francisco.
