Today in #Sikh History:
The British government sentenced Sardar Udham Singh to death in London, UK, for assassinating Sir Michael Francis O'Dwyer. O’Dwyer was the governor of Panjab during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar on Vaisakhi Day 1919. O’Dwyer had authorized Brigadier-General Reginald Edward Harry Dyer, head of the British Army in Amritsar, to use lethal force against the unarmed protesters at Jallianwala Bagh and supported Dyer after the massacre. Furthermore, O'Dwyer declared martial law in Panjab on 15 April.

Udham Singh was born in 1899 Sunam (Sangrur District). He was radicalized after the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and joined the Ghadar Party in 1924. He was sentenced to jail for five years and was released in 1931. He then surreptitiously went to London, England, where he planned O’Dwyer’s assassination. On 13 March 1940, Udham Singh shot O’Dwyer to death after O’Dwyer had given a speech for the Central Asian Society.

While in prison, Udham Singh underwent a 42-day hunger strike. He explained his motivation for the assassination: "I did it because I had a grudge against him. He deserved it. He was the real culprit. He wanted to crush the spirit of my people, so I have crushed him. For full 21 years, I have been trying to seek vengeance. I am happy that I have done the job. I am not scared of death. I am dying for my country. I have seen my people starving in India under the British rule. I have protested against this, it was my duty.”

City of Vancouver has restored the signage panels at the historic site in Coal Harbour to the ship’s original name, “Guru Nanak Jahaz.”

“Following community feedback, we now refer to the ‘Komagata Maru’ ship by its correct name, ‘Guru Nanak Jahaz.’ Calling the ship by its correct name accurately honours the legacy,” the city said last year while declaring May 23 as Guru Nanak Jahaz Day.

Guru Nanak Jahaz docked near the current location of Canada Place in 1914 carrying 340 Sikhs, 27 Muslims, & 12 Hindu passengers who came to challenge Canada’s racist & exclusionary immigration policies. They were denied entry despite having valid travel docs & were ultimately forced to return to British India, where 19 passengers were killed while protecting the sanctity of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

The Govt of Canada & the City of Vancouver have previously apologized for the incident.

Danielle Smith's referendum is illegitimate.

It's nothing but a distraction from the UCP's record of chaos and corruption.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

I mean, I’ve now done five. Because this matters. It’s not just politics.

Albertans deserve to hear from Danielle Smith and her government about why they didn’t act when her staff saw Jason Kenney being doxxed, and what they are doing now to protect Albertans’ personal information.

Today, not many people know of Hari Singh Nalua's contribution to the Sikh position and rule during the time. As a general, he exhibited exemplary leadership qualities and military skills that helped Sikhs strengthen and consolidate their military and political position in South Asia.

Albertans are extremely concerned about what is likely the largest data leak in Canadian history.

The government has a responsibility to protect our privacy and our rights.

We need the Premier to take this seriously.

CSIS confirms: China & India remain the TOP perpetrators of foreign interference & espionage in Canada. They’re silencing critics through transnational repression, targeting politicians and communities, and recruiting via fake job postings.
Yet Carney is aggressively chasing ties with both.
This reckless ‘reset’ is a betrayal of Canadian sovereignty.

For survivors of prolonged, repeated trauma, it is not practical to approach each memory as a separate entity. There are simply too many incidents, and often similar memories have blurred together.
Usually, however, a few distinct and particularly meaningful incidents stand out.

We don't have to wait until the mid-term elections in November to do anything meaningful to stop Trump.

Working people can defeat Trump's agenda – if we're united and organized.

#KidCudi has announced that he fired M.I.A. as one of the openers on his Rebel Ragers Tour after she was booed during a rant which included lines like, “I’ve been canceled for many reasons. I never thought I would be canceled for being a brown Republican voter.”

Cudi announced her departure from the tour on May 4 via Instagram, where he wrote, “TOUR UPDATE: M.I.A is no longer on this tour. I told my management to send a notice to her team before we started tour that I didn’t want anything offensive at my shows, cuz I already knew what time it was, and I was assured things were understood. After the last couple shows, I’ve been flooded with messages from fans that were upset by her rants. This, to me, is very disappointing and I wont have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase. Thank you for understanding. Rager.”

The UCP are continuing with their aversion to public inquiries and instead announced today that they will be waiting for all investigations to finish.
