Indian revolutionaries had close relationships with Turkey before independence. Channel for these relations was Turkish embassy in Kabul. There is also another different story -
In 1924 revolutionary named Teja Singh Sutantar was sent to Turkey by Ghadar Party to attain military knowledge. Sutantar (means who is free) got Turkish citizenship & joined the turkish military academy in Constantinople through the instrumentality of Maulvi Obaid Ullah Sindhi of Deoband School & who was once a Home Minister in the triple coalition exile government of India in Kabul in 1915. That government in exile was supported by Turkish government. Teja Singh Sutantar graduated from academy in first class and recieved commission of officer in Turkish Army with speciality in guerilla warfare. But he resigned from job to train the Ghadar Party ranks in California,Panama,Argentina & Brazil. Later he successfully returned to British India through sea as British CID was searching him in NWFP & other areas near Afghan border because they were thinking Sutantar was dropped through parachute somewhere in these areas by soviet plane. After Independence Sutantar remained underground due to his left wing activities for 13 years till 1962 but after that he was elected as MP from Punjab.

wonderful.. i didn't know of this.

while revolutionaries from other cultures ( like lenin, che guevara ) have had roads and other artifacts named after them, it has been rare for south asian revolutionaries... this is a proud moment, but it is also saddening that this fact was not known for so long.

it must be indeed rare for a socialist and the deoband mullah school to collaborate.

Correction: British Indian revolutionaries.

They have nothing to do with the current day india, which has just borrowed another name.

but these revolutionaries had nothing to do with partition politics... they fought for a united india... therefore it is right to call them "indian".
