“Komagata Maru Way” to be designated as a portion of Canadian roadway

“Komagata Maru Way” to be designated as a portion of Canadian roadway

“In commemoration of the 376 Indians, predominantly from Punjab, who embarked on a journey from India to Canada in 1914, only to be refused entry by the nation.”

“A segment of South Fraser Way in Abbotsford, British Columbia has been renamed as “Komagata Maru Way” to honor the memory of 376 Indian immigrants who were denied entry into Canada in 1914. The renaming was passed unanimously by the Abbotsford City Council and is set to cost $4,000. The council also voted to fund a plaque at a local Sikh Temple and educational resources to educate future generations about the incident. This renaming highlights the commitment to promoting inclusiveness and belonging among all residents and serves as a reminder of the importance of a fair society for all.

The descendants of those on board the Komagata Maru ship asked for the commemoration of the humanitarian role played by the South Asian community in Abbotsford. The 376 passengers, including Sikhs, Muslims, and Hindus from the Punjab, were held on the ship for months in dire conditions before being forced to return to India. The renaming comes amidst repeated vandalism of the Komagata Maru Memorial in Vancouver.”
