"The shore Committee raised $22,000 dollars as an installment on chartering the ship." and "the passengers did not have the required funds" It's too bad the two groups didn't talk to oneanother. =/ -- Sy / (talk)
Why is there a section going into the details of the difference between British Subjects and British Protected Persons if all of the passengers were British Subjects? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.103.86 ( talk) 16:36, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
This article has a number of references, but they are not attached to any part of the article (they're more of a see also). Please can someone convert these to actual references / citations. Perhaps by looking through them and seeing which part of the article they go to. Also it would be helpful to have references to web sites, or books that are easier to get hold of it seems the best publisers (British Columbia Historical Quarterly, V and Oxford University Press) are for references that are now fairly dated (though still valid, it's a question of verifiability. Thanks Captainj 17:44, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Also, I've been looking and I'm not sure that the Canadian government has yet to actually apologized yet. They've been talking about it but haven't said sorry yet. Can someone provide a reference to that too? —Preceding

Because of its title, this article is properly about the vessel itself, and the Komagata Maru Incident, which probably redirects here, should be a separate article. Tonnage, construction dates, ownership, vessel history etc are standard fare on "ship pages". Please see WikiProject Ships for examples of format/content; for now the "Incident portion" can stay here, but this article, by normal Wiki conventions, should be about the vessel itself.

Can you make the text a little clearer because it kind of confusing to read.
This page should be spelled as "Komagata Maru Incident". The existing "Komagata Maru Incident" page, which directs back to this page, should be deleted.
Goingoveredge can you explain what is "AntiIndia" subject matter related to this event and the article? Why did you add "Category:Anti-Indian sentiment" to this article? You have earlier done the same at different articles like Gandhi Behind the Mask of Divinity. Please stop making wikipedia your vehicle of propaganda. -- RoadAhead Discuss 00:38, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
[undent]While it's a given that this incident is important in the history of discrmination in British Columbia and in the British Empire, it's NOT true that "The incident clearly targeted Indians for discrimination" - as in any complete history of the events the incident was planned to challenge British imperial legislation/policies, i.e. it was a deliberate provocation that played on anti-Indian sentiment in order to make a political point; resistance at hte British Columbian end was not Anti-Indian in essence, but anti-non-white, which is a different (though inclusive) matter/definition. The public response was indeed anti-Indian, but the official response had to do with legalities; and, I repeat, the incident was PLANNED and the vessel's charterers knew full well they could be stonewalled in the destination port. If you show up at a door you know is closed to you (for whatever reason), you have to accept the fact that the door may not, in fact, open simply because you want it to; and picking a fight with a bully, then complaining he bullied you, is just horse-wallop (but too typical of many such incidents). It all reminds me, tragic as these events were, of the bit from Monty Python and teh Holy Grail where the peasant insults King Arthur to the point of the latter hitting him - "Look! Look, I'm being oppressed!". Please note I don't mean to take sides here, only to point out hte logical/descriptive fallacies surrounding incidents such as these; and in this case the historical record is clear - the incident was planned as a provocation and wasn't expected to succeed. Who really was at fault for the starvation and hardships endured in Vancouver Harbour? I'd say the Indian politicos who organized the expedition knowing it didn't have a hope in hell of succeeding; easy to blame it on bad ol' whitey, but when "you" (I don't mean anyone here, using "you" in the egneral sense) use your own people by putting htme in a situation where you know they will suffer - well, you have to accept PART of the blame; if not all of it, which is really the case here.......

Why is the Palestinian Liberation Organization listen in the intro section. Of what relevance is a group that was found in 1964 to an incident that occurred in 1914. There is a lot of other stuff in that intro and the rest of this article that is highly questionable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.34.78 ( talk) 18:21, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

The redirect Komagata Maru(2010 film) has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines. Readers of this page are welcome to comment on this redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 January 5 § Komagata Maru(2010 film) until a consensus is reached.

Recently the following paragraph was removed in the "Legacy:Canada" section for being off-topic:
Toor has also been active in holding those in power at the time responsible for their actions. Following Toor’s 2018 request to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Harry Stevens’ name was removed from a federal building in Vancouver.
But in the "Arrival in Vancouver" section, Harry Stevens (H.H. Stevens) is discussed in detail as being a key official responsible for the mistreatment of the passengers:
Conservative MP H. H. Stevens organized a public meeting against allowing the ship's passengers to disembark and urged the government to refuse to allow the ship to remain. Stevens worked with immigration official Malcolm R.J. Reid to keep the passengers offshore. Reid's intransigence, supported by Stevens, led to the mistreatment of the passengers on the ship and prolonged its departure date, which was not resolved until the intervention of the federal Minister of Agriculture, Martin Burrell, MP for Yale—Cariboo.
So is the problem that we should just change "Harry Stevens" to "H.H. Stevens" (to conform to the form of his name earlier in the article), or should we create another Wikilink to H.H. Stevens at this section of the article, or should we change the section to read something like:
Toor has also been active in holding those in power at the time responsible for their actions. Following Toor’s 2018 request to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, H.H. Stevens’ (one of the officials of the time responsible for the mistreatment of the passengers - see "Arrival in Canada" section above) name was removed from a federal building in Vancouver.
Please let me know what you think about this, and if you think the removal of H.H. Stevens name from a federal building is an important update to the Komagata Maru incident. UpDater ( talk) 03:58, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
