Although we're working on Season 2 of The Nameless Collective Podcast, we decided to release a special episode to comment on the media storm around Sikh identity in Canada, race, and representation in the news. Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is the catalyst to this conversation, but we know that this type of stagnant storytelling by Canadian media has been going on for a long, long time. Like 104 years to be exact.

When do people of colour enter the archive? "When we’re buying property or breaking the law." In 1914, Mewa Singh shot William C. Hopkinson at the Provincial Courthouse of British Columbia. He turned himself in to the police, and was hanged for the murder. His crime gives him a place in the official archive, but his name and spirit reverberate across Metro Vancouver in gurdwaras and homes, and across the halls of the old courthouse, now the Vancouver Art Gallery. This is his story.

Hopkinson is overwhelmed. The passengers retaliate. This episode we wrap up our conversation about the Komagata Maru and share stories about what happened to the passengers once they returned home to India. But that's not all. We also walk you through our first visit to Library and Archives Canada - the national archive based in Ottawa, where we uncover more than a few dusty newspapers.

Spy games. This week The Nameless Collective analyze declassified government documents regarding a New Year’s Eve gathering in Vancouver’s Chinatown. Names are called, lines are drawn, traitors identified. The year is 1913.
The trio also attempt to put names to the nameless in a photograph from Harnam Kaur’s cremation, and speculate on who is present in the photograph and why they were there. The photograph sets the scene for key characters involved in the Ghadar movement, and the Komagata Maru episode and its aftermath. Visit thenameless.co to follow along as we dissect the photograph.

Conspiracy. Revolution. Independence. The Ghadar movement was a revolutionary call for Indian independence from the British Empire in the early 1900s. And while there were Ghadar branches throughout the world, in this episode we highlight the critical role Vancouver played in this movement. We also discuss the newspapers that were furiously published by revolutionaries (and confiscated by the Canadian government) and the nameless, anonymous poetry that inspired a generation.
Ghadar di Goonj. Echo of the mutiny.

The first Sikh wedding at the Second Avenue Gurdwara (Khalsa Diwan Society) in Vancouver was also an intercultural union. Annie Wright and Munsha Singh fell in love and were married in 1909, and made history as not only the first couple to be married at the gurdwara, but also as the first noted marriage between a Caucasian Christian and a South Asian Sikh in Canada. We piece together the story of their relationship, and the people and stories that intersected with their lives, as well as other tales of conversions and mistaken identities.
