Kartar Singh Sarabha (24 May 1896 — 16 November 1915) was a prominent Indian revolutionary and a key figure in the Ghadar Movement against the British Raj. Born in Sarabha village, Ludhiana, he went to the U.S. for studies but became deeply involved with the Ghadar Party in California. Returning to India during World War I, he attempted to incite a rebellion among Indian soldiers. Captured and tried in the First Lahore Conspiracy Case, he was executed at just 19 years old. His fearless patriotism inspired future revolutionaries, including Bhagat Singh, and he remains a symbol of youthful sacrifice for India's freedom.
