Inspired by Tilak, Savarkar, Madam Cama, Shyamaji Krishnavarma and others, the Ghadar plan was to smuggle arms to India and incite Indians in the British-Indian Army to mutiny. Many Ghadarites, most of them from Punjab, came back to India from the US in order to participate in the struggle. In India, revolutionaries like Rash Behari Bose and Vishnu Ganesh Pingle joined them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOwing to lapses in planning and the presence of informers in their midst, the plan ultimately failed and the British came down very heavily on the conspirators. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome like Kartar Singh Sarabha (who inspired a young Bhagat Singh) were sentenced to death for their part in the struggle.
