Histories of the \u003ci\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/i\u003e or the Ghadar Movement offer rewarding perspectives on Punjabi Sikh migrants, but fail to adequately investigate why the ship was brought to Bengal; why overwhelming locally organized imperial vigilance was imposed on ships that arrived soon afterward; and the extent to which the operation of the repressive colonial state apparatus influenced the intersections of anticolonial strands in Calcutta and its surroundings during 1914-15. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis monograph traces this early wartime clash of positions and the organized postwar transmission of the memory of the \u003ci\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/i\u003e as a symbol of resistance among the Sikh workers in the industrial centers of southwest Bengal. It acts as a link in a chain of scholarship that has hitherto traced the spread of radical anticolonial currents among the Punjabi Sikh diaspora that connected Punjab with Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the Americas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suchetana Chattopadhyay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8193401581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788193401583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tulika Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Suchetana Chattopadhyay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979119001855,"sku":"9788193401583","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5bf1a4b6-5179-421e-816f-13926f568238.jpg?v=1683244216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voices-of-komagata-maru-suchetana-chattopadhyay-9788193401583","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
