'''Ram Chandra Bharadwaj''', also known as '''Pandit Ram Chandra''' was the president of the [[Ghadar Party]] between 1914 and 1917. As a member of the Ghadar Party, Ram Chandra was also one of the founding editors of the [[Hindustan Ghadar]] and a key leader of the party in its role in the [[Indo-German Conspiracy]]. He assumed the role of the president of the party following [[Lala Har Dayal]]'s departure for Switzerland in 1914 and, along with [[Bhagwan Singh]] and [[Maulvi Mohammed Barkatullah]], was key in rallying the support of the [[South Asian]] community in the [[Pacific Coast]] in the wake of the [[Komagata Maru]] incident for the planned [[Ghadar Conspiracy#February 1915|February mutiny]]. 
Ram Chandra was assassinated on 24 April 1918 on the last day of the [[Hindu–German Conspiracy Trial]] by Ram Singh, a fellow defendant who believed that Ram Chandra was a British agent.
