Perspective
On May 23, 1914, Komagata Maru arrived in Coal Harbour after seven weeks crossing the Pacific Ocean from Hong Kong via Japan. The ship carried 376 Indians form the the India and the Far East who claimed right of entry as citizens of the British Empire.
Most of the passengers were not permitted to land based on the "Continuous Passage Order" and other prejudicial regulations.
Ultimately the passengers were sent back to India, and this incident was a catalyst for change to Canadian citizenship and immigration laws.
Canada had to commit to a nation where diffrences are respected and traditions honoured.
