The Canadian government formally apologized for the Komagata Maru incident in 2016. The apology was delivered in the House of Commons by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It acknowledged the discriminatory laws and the suffering they caused to the passengers and their descendants. The apology also included a commitment to learning from the past and ensuring such events are never repeated. The Komagata Maru incident involved a Japanese steamship carrying 376 passengers, primarily of Sikh, Muslim, and Hindu origin, who were seeking entry into Canada in 1914. However, due to discriminatory immigration laws, most passengers were denied entry and forced to return to India. The incident is considered a dark chapter in Canadian history, marked by racism and prejudice. The apology delivered by Prime Minister Trudeau in 2016 was a significant step towards reconciliation and acknowledging Canada's past wrongs. It was delivered on the 102nd anniversary of the ship's arrival in Vancouver. The apology was met with praise from various community leaders and descendants of the passengers, recognizing its importance in addressing historical injustices.
