Explanation: The statement that is true about the Ghadar Party is:
(d) The Ghadarites hoped for help from the Germans who were fighting against the British in the First World War.
The Ghadar Party was a revolutionary organization formed by Indian immigrants in the United States and Canada during the early 20th century. They aimed to overthrow British colonial rule in India and establish an independent nation.
The Ghadarites did indeed hope for help from the Germans who were fighting against the British in the First World War. They saw the war as an opportunity to exploit Britain’s distraction and weaken its hold on India. The Ghadar Party sought support from various sources, including Germany, Japan, and other anti-British forces, to acquire weapons, funds, and military training.
