Is this the same as the 'Indian National Committee', as mentioned in [1],? --Soman (talk) 14:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

- It is the same organisation that the sikhpioneers website wishes to indicate, but they have the facts slightly wrong, as the Indian national Committee was actually formed by some members of the Berlin committee before they came to form the Berlin committee. Nonetheless, for practical and historical references, some historians do identify this predecessor organisation with the Berlin committee itself. The Ghadar Conspiracy was between the Ghadar party, Berlin Committee, and the German foreign office (and the Irish republicans). So for practical purposes, yes it is.Hope this clarifies. rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 14:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- There was a group in Stockholm called 'Indian National Committee', google search indicates that they were active at least 1917-1918. Would that have been a branch of the same group? --Soman (talk) 14:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, this was a branch of the Berlin Committee (alebeit, supposedly a secret one), the Stockholm group kept in touch with the Mahendra Pratap's Provisional Government and was instrumental in liasing with the German Government and the new Russian bolshevik government. rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 14:59, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
