Released to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of the arrival
of the Komagata Maru, this expanded and fully revised edition will
stand as the most thoroughly researched account of the notorious
Komagata Maru incident. The event centres on the ship’s nearly
four hundred Punjabi passengers, who sought entry into Canada at
Vancouver in the summer of 1914, only to be chased away by a
Canadian warship. This story became a symbol of prejudicial
immigration policies, which Canadians today reject, and served to
fuel the emerging anti-British movement in India. It deserves the
careful re-examination it gets in this thoroughly updated edition
that provides a contemporary perspective on a defining moment in
Canadian, British Empire, and Indian history.
