I am writing a book on Dr. Mathra Singh, who was a revolutionary and actively involved in the activities of the Ghadar Party, born in 1883 and was hanged by the british in 1917. In this short span of 34 years, he studied pharmacy and became a successful businessman, left all to become a revolutionary, travelled to Shanghai, Singapore, Canton, Hongkong, San Francisco, back to undivided India, Kabul, Iran, Germany, Russia, Tashkent and Termez (in that order). Was described by then Punjab Governor as the most dangerous revolutionary for the british emipre, expert at making bombs and disguises and fearless like a tiger.

He was the elder brother of my grandfather. Some information on him is provided here:
