"Dear Lin,
The word Jehadi that appears in The Secret Listeners of the East is derived from the word Jehad - Holy War of Islam. Jehadi is a crusader of Islam.
The book Secret Listeners of the East is based on reports of the British Police officers who were engaged in British India during 1918-21 to track down Mohammadan nationalists of the violent school. Whether any secret society was named Jehadi I do not know.
Sincerely yours - D. G. Mukerji"
