Kathak is one of the eight major forms of Indian classical dance. Derived from the Sanskrit word kathakar, meaning "storyteller," it refers to the nomadic performers who narrated the tales of Mahabharata and the Ramayana through dance, music, and gestures. It is characterized by its extensive footwork, precise hand and body movements, flexibility, and facial expressions, which all comes together to tell a story.

The Ghadri Memorial Day, as observed by the Indo-Canadian Workers Association (ICWA), is an annual event dedicated to remembering and honoring the sacrifices made by the Ghadar Party members and their contributions to the Indian freedom struggle.

The event typically includes an exhibition showcasing individuals from the Ghadar movement, speeches detailing their actions, and discussions about their role in fighting colonial rule and advocating for freedom. The event serves as a reminder to stay vigilant against communal forces and stresses the importance of unity. Cultural performances, music, and the distribution of souvenirs are also central to the celebration.
