This database provides digital access to two sources of documents related to Indian Nationalists working for Indian independence from within the United States. There are two primary collections: the Justice Department and U.S. Attorney records primarily concern the U.S. government's prosecution of Indian nationalists in the "Hindu Conspiracy Case" for violations of the Espionage Act (40 Stat. 217-231) arising from two major incidents. The Immigration and Naturalization Service records relate to efforts to revoke the citizenship of certain Indians naturalized as U.S. citizens, as well as to general efforts to exclude Indians from admission to the United States and Canada.
