The authorities of which country denied the permission to land the ship Komagata Maru, carrying Indians?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Canada.
The authorities of Canada denied permission to land the ship Komagata Maru, which carried Indian passengers.
In 1914, the ship, en route from Hong Kong, was denied entry into Canada due to restrictive immigration policies targeting people from India and other Asian countries. The refusal led to a prolonged standoff in Vancouver Harbor, and the ship was eventually forced to return to India, where many passengers faced severe repercussions.
