S02E03: Who really was William C. Hopkinson? We try to demystify the complicated man and his obsession with the local South Asian community. And did he really fool anyone when he put on a costume and spied on the community at the gurdwara? We also follow a trail of documents and diaries to fill in the blanks and figure out what happened to the children of Bibi Harnam Kaur and Bhai Bhag Singh. Aaannnddd we solve a mystery! 

In Season 2 of The Nameless Collective Podcast, we talk about crime & criminality, and what constitutes criminal behaviour amongst early South Asian settlers in and around Vancouver, Canada.
