Image title: Indians involved in the the Hindu-German Conspiracy Trial which commenced in the District Court in San Francisco on November 12, 1917 following the uncovering of the Hindu-German Conspiracy (also known as the Indo German plot) for initiating a revolt in India. It was part of a wave of such incidents which took place in the United States after America's entrance into World War I. In May 1917, eight Indian nationalists of the Ghadar Party were indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of conspiracy to form a military enterprise against the United Kingdom. The trial lasted from November 20, 1917 to April 24, 1918. The British authorities hoped that the conviction of the Indians would result in their deportation from the United States back to India. However, strong public support in favor of the Indians meant that the U.S. Department of Justice chose not to do so. The trial ended with a sensational climax when Ram Chandra was shot to death in the courtroom by fellow defendant, Ram Singh. the judge found the defendants guilty of violating the neutrality of the United States and they were sentenced to serve from twenty-two months to sixty days.
