Abstract
In the 20th century the revolutionary movements started in colonial Punjab. That was the era of
militant nationalism in Punjab. Militant nationalists and socialist revolutionaries both were
collectively working for the freedom. In 1914 Punjabi Diasporas formulate a Ghadar Party. This
Party was dissolved in 1918. After the end of this Party comrade came back to Punjab and started
revolutionary activities. At that time militant nationalist and socialist were united on a one-point
agenda that was complete independence. Those comrades started the Kirti magazine, through this
magazine they highlighted different issues of lower classes specially peasant and labour class
worldwide. Interestingly, this magazine became the root of emergence of a political party Kirti
Kissan Party(KKP). It was only party which came into being on the popular demand of the
masses. this party was a secular party headed by the commoners. This paper will explore
formation of the party, its structure, leadership, manifesto and development.
