Three Worlds Theory
The party was founded on 25 December 1980, as a continuation of the Hindustani Ghadar Party – Organisation of Indian Marxist–Leninists Abroad founded in Canada in 1970. The group had established a presence in Punjab during the 1970s. Initially the group identified itself with the Naxalite movement in India, especially in Punjab. However, by the end of the 1970s the group rejected the Three Worlds Theory and sided with Albania in the Sino-Albanian split. The name of the party was inspired by the American-based Ghadar Party, formed by Indian revolutionaries in the early 1900s. "Ghadar" means revolt, a narrative abbreviation referring to Indian Revolt.
