Of them 24 were admitted to Canada, but the 352 other passengers were not allowed to land in Canada, and the ship was forced to return to India. After two months without food and water to those on the ship docked in Vancouver, the Canadian government sent two naval ships, to escort the Komagata Maru out of Canadian territory.\u00a0When the ship reached Calcutta, India which was under the British, it was stopped by a British gun boat. The ship was then taken to a place called Budge Budge in Calcutta where they tried to arrest 20 or more men they saw as leaders. When they resisted the arrest, British gun boat shot at least 19 people. Some escaped, while the others were arrested and imprisoned in their village and kept there for the duration of the World War-I. Brave Gurdit Singh was the leader of the voyage of Komagata Maru.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Canadian minister had tendered an apology to Indians a few years ago for the same. Interestingly, the play was presented before an audience that comprised of Special guest Mrs Harbans Kaur the granddaughter of Gurdit Singh the leader of Komagata Maru besides Mrs. Lovejeet Kalsi, District Transport Officer and Dr. Taminder Singh Bhatia Professor Physics and Controller of Examination, Khalsa College, Amritsar who graced the occasion. Earlier Principal of the school Mrs. Sangeeta Singh warmly welcomed guests who were presented mementoes by the school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leader of Komagata \u2013 Gurdit Singh\u2019s granddaughter graced the occasion Amritsar, Dec. 13 (Punjab Post Bureau)- Students showcased the \u2018spirit of intolerance\u2019, raging throughout India and the recent topic of discourse that has gripped the entire nation;
