Anti-hate rally held at damaged Komagata Maru memorial in Vancouver
The Komagata Maru memorial was built to commemorate the 1914 incident when 376 passengers from India were escorted out of Vancouver’s Coal Harbour aboard the steamship Komagata Maru.
For many Canadians, the name Komagata Maru means little. But what happened on that crowded ship in 1914 has become, for many scholars, emblematic of an entire period of Canadian history characterized by xenophobia, racism and exclusionary immigration policies.The 376 passengers from India were denied entry to the country and sent back across the Pacific Ocean.
