Mohan Singh

Village: Mahilpur

City: Hoshiarpur

Mohan Singh, son of Indar Singh, Village Mahilpur, District Hoshiarpur. He left India for Canada to join his father when he was a boy. He quickly fell in with the Ghadr Party, and about the latter half of 1929 was reported to be interested in learning the manufacture of explosives. Early in 1930 the Ghadr Party intended sending him to Russia for military training, for eventual propaganda in India. In the same year he was active in the raising of funds for Bhagat Singh's (murderer of a Police officer in India) appeal, and was reported to be on the Executive Committee of the Canadian Hindustani Congress. Early in 1931 he left Vancouver for California, but very shortly afterwards proceeded to New York where he became associated with one of Sailendra Nath Ghose's numerous ventures—The Hindu Products Co. In 1932 the Immigration authorities in New York were considering the question of his deportation to Canada.
