On December 10, 2014, CASSA (Council of Agencies Serving South Asians) organized a fantastic conference entitled ‘Brown Canada 2020 Summit’ at York University which also coincided with International Human Rights Day. |
The summit commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Komagata Maru event of 1914 which saw Canada deny entry to 376 Indians aboard the Komagata Maru ship due to the country's discriminatory Asian Exclusion Act.
