Part 3 of 5: An Interview with Anisha

* This is the third in a series of interviews conducted by Manvi Ansal, Provincial Fair 2011 Alumnus, with each of the Richmond-Delta Provincial Fair 2013 delegates. 


Name: Anisha Gill
Grade: 5
City: Delta
Project Title: Komagata Maru

Anisha’s topic is still important in today’s world because people are still mad about it. They should have apologized sooner to the Indians. It has made an impact on Indians in today’s world. They probably don’t think well of Canada.  

 Her project has inspired her to be proud of her culture. Sikhs did a lot to make a living in Canada. They fought hard and they wouldn’t give up. She is happy they did. 

The greatest challenge throughout doing her project was doing the layout because she had too much information about her topic, so she had to cram it all in.  She would change her project by adding higher vocabulary and to find a way to make my project fit all my information neatly.   

Anisha was surprised when the Indians came to Canada, they got sent back. It was rude how the Canadians forced them to go back only because they were Indian.  If she could share one thing about her project on Global news, it would be how a person named William C. Hopkins was the one that sent the Indians back. That is just so racist. 

Canadians should know about her project because it was a black mark in Canadian history and Sikhs have developed a lot since 1914. Now people don’t care what happened back then, but it should matter because people deserve to know what happened in the past.
