The Komagata Maru incident

The Komagata Maru incident: In 1914, Sikh immigrants aboard the Japanese steamship were denied entry to Canada due to discriminatory laws. They faced harsh conditions, protests erupted, and the ship was forcefully removed. Back in India, they encountered hostility. This event exposed racism, sparked discussions on equality, and influenced immigration policies. It remains a symbol of the ongoing fight for justice and inclusivity.
