Kirti was a Punjabi monthly started by the veteran Ghadarite Santokh Singh in February 1926. It was the mouthpiece of the Kirti Kisan Sabha of Punjab. It was purely a communist production, subsidized by the Ghadar Party in the United States. Within a few months, Sohan Singh Josh took over as the editor. Its purpose was to outline the basic ideas of revolution and Marxist ideals.
