Answer: Komagata Maru

  • Komagata Maru was a Japanese ship hired in 1914 by Gurdit Singh to take Indian (mainly Punjabi) passengers to Canada.
  • Canada's racist immigration laws did not allow the passengers to land at Vancouver, and the ship was forced to return to India.
  • When it reached Budge Budge near Kolkata (September 1914), the British police fired on the passengers and many were killed.
  • The incident angered Indians abroad and strengthened the revolutionary Ghadar movement against British rule.
