Description: The Komagata Maru incident of 1914 involved a ship carrying Indian immigrants who were denied entry into Canada due to discriminatory laws. The passengers were forced to remain aboard for two months before being sent back to India, where many faced persecution. This event highlights the challenges faced by immigrants and the impact of exclusionary policies. It remains a significant moment in Canada’s history concerning immigration and race relations.
