Source description:
Group of Sikh men in front of Sikh temple in Shanghai, China. The caption of the photograph reads "Shahidi Jatha from Canada and Shanghai to Jaito." The Shahidi Jatha groups were groups of dedicated Sikh men who went to Jaito via Shanghai to protest the colonial British government in India. In the photograph, the Sikh men are seen wearing garlands made out of marigold flowers to symbolize their dedication and willingness to fight until death. Some fighters were sent to convent colonies if captured. A group of men from Vancouver, Canada was sent along with this group to support the effort. There is a building visible in the back that has Sikh Temple Shanghai written on it.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
