Overview of Komagata Maru Case
The Komagata Maru incident was about a Japanese ship that voyaged from Hong Kong to Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. The ship was ca
ying a few thousand South Asians who had mostly Sikhs and Muslims. Although the number of immigrants was small anti-Asian lo
ies were opposing the immigration of people from Asia and organized vigorous campaigns against such immigration (Bryan). This further resulted in the stopping of immigration from India to Canada in 1908 and the United States in 1910.
Regulations were circulated where the continuous journey of people was restricted according to the instructions from the governments of British India and Canada. Another regulation was circulated where the immigration officers were empowered to turn back the Asians. The regulations were deceptive and question racial discrimination in terms of the association of the regulation with the context of Asia and not in general. One of the major aspects of the entire incident was the deceptiveness and discrimination that directed the government to pass the resolution for ba
ing Asian men and particularly Sikhs and Muslims from immigrating to Canada.
When the passengers a
ived in Canadian waters they were rejected and the South Asian immigrants were turned back by the Canadian authorities. But the lieutenant and a representative of the immigrants were not convinced to compromise with such discriminatory regulations (Chakraborty). The immigrants were registered in Canadian waters and ill-treatment was meted out to them blocking their attempts for communication they refused to get food and water except when the conditions became desperate. The Canadian authorities even tried to control the ship by force and ill-treat the desperate immigrants who had mostly Sikhs. The incident intensified the revolutionary aspect of the immigrants who were mainly from India and India at that time was bulging with political revolution.
Role of Race
Kazimi in his documentary has extensively focused on the faces of three individuals. One was Inspector William Hopkinson, a former police officer in India who later became the inspector at the Canadian immigration
anch in Vancouver. Another was Bhag Singh who was the leader of the Vancouver shore committee and a member of the Ghadar party. While the other was Balwant Singh who was one of the first Granthis in the Gurdwara of Vancouver (Kaur). This has contextually focused on the history of racialized exclusion in terms of the immigration policy which had transpacific and transnational circuits of the British Empire. This particular aspect was more inherent in terms of the exclusionary policies and the violence of the British Imperial project in India.
The documentary explicitly considered the anti-imperialistic attitude of the government with the resistance in terms of the racial context. This was more prominent in terms of the Ghadar movement that had moved the Imperial authorities in terms of the revolution that was significant in India which was then the British Colony (Hosokawa). This can be seen as an effective influence of the racial underpinnings of the regulations that had political repercussions but yet it was given a racial sealing. It was the tactics or strategies by the authorities in terms of refusing to grant the landing of the ship without declaring its passengers and keeping legal exceptions that had no grounds (Hamad1st).
The mechanism and the policy give importance in terms of racialization that defined the virtual it is of the Canadian immigration policy. The aesthetic strategies that have been enacted in the document tree are incidental in the context of the political dilemmas. These policies of exclusion specify the racialized practices and effects that mi
or polite racism without explicitly considering the aspect of racism (Roy). Documentary also enhances the effectiveness of the interjection policies and the context of racialized aspects limiting the specific population with respect to movement.
Legacy of Such Hate Crimes
After the incident that occu
ed on 9/11 in the United States, it relates to strong anti-Islamic prejudices that dramatically increased in Western society. Prejudices and hate crimes became more significant directing a strong anti-Islamic attitude and driving the incidents of hate crimes. The Sikh men and boys were mistaken as Muslims and they suffered from collateral damages that affected the...
