Review: The Ghadar Movement by Rana Preet Gill

A view of the Komagata Maru Memorial in Vancouver, Canada. The centenary celebration of the Ghadar movement in 2013 was commemorated not only in India but also by the Punjabi diaspora.

The ship was forced to return to Calcutta where a tragic confrontation with British authorities led to many casualties among the migrants. This infamous incident has become ingrained in public memory (Shutterstock)
