Excerpt from Wikipedia article....Vishnu was also strongly influenced by the history of the American War of Independence. In 1911, Pingle left Ausa for the United States. It is said that he kept the news of his impending departure from his family and only told his elder brother Keshavrao of his plans at the railway station. He reached America via Hong Kong, and enrolled as a student of mechanical engineering at the University of Washington in 1912.^[

But this manifest states his father paid for his passage to the United States https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QK3R-771S

Also, near the bottom of the Wiki article is this........Pingle's granddaughter Rajani Patil is a politician. She has served as a Member of the Indian Parliament.  {I did not find mention of a wife anywhere..was Pingle married?)
