Righting Canada's Wrongs: The Komagata Maru and Canada's Anti-Indian Immigration Policies in the Twentieth Century

This resource uses text, images, and online video links to provide an understanding of the Komagata Maru incident and anti-immigration policies in Canada in the early twentieth century. It examines political decisions and the impact they had on Indo Canadians, and describes redress and how Canada is looking to right its wrongs. While aimed at intermediate (grade 5-8) students, the book could be useful in grade 4-12 classes to study immigration, human rights, redress, and Sikh/Indian/Punjabi culture in Canada and India. Teachers could use this book along with others in the same series to examine Canada's historical policies and impacts on different groups.
