Guru Nanak Jahaz

The film tells the story of 376 Indian Sikh passengers aboard the Komagata Maru, a Japanese steamship, who arrived in Vancouver seeking entry into Canada. Faced with racial prejudices and immigration restrictions, the passengers were denied entry and endured two months of legal battles and protests before being forced to return to India. This true incident serves as a poignant reflection on the themes of equality and justice.

Starring Tarsem Jassar, Balwinder Bullet, and Gurpreet Ghuggi, Guru Nanak Jahaz presents a dramatic retelling of this impactful chapter in history. The film not only captures the struggle of the passengers but also raises awareness about the broader issues of racial discrimination and the fight for human rights during that era. Collectors interested in historical dramas or narratives centered on social justice will find this film significant in its portrayal of a crucial moment in the immigrant experience.
