Bullets in a Steamship, Shackles in a Plane

Cuckoo News goes to Budge Budge to track a story from 1914. The Komagata Maru was a Japanese ship which sailed to Canada but was denied entry. The passengers on board were eventually deported, tired, thirsty, hungry. The incident years ago finds resonance with the recent move by the US government which has decided to deport hundreds of Indians who allegedly illegally entered its borders. Watch our YouTube video for the details.

Snapshots from a mural in Budge Budge depicting the Komagata Maru massacre. Read our full story in the coming week.
