Ranvir Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 5 hours ago, Austin 3:!6 said: I went to the Indian embassy in Aldwich for customary flag hoisting and function like I do every year. But the situation turned ugly this time and I have never experienced anything like it anywhere. Central London looked like a war zone and police needed to use tear gas/firing in the air to disperse the mobs. The Indians who gathered there would not be more than 50 people (at max) and mostly consists of women, children and old retired uncles. Kids were all dressed up to perform patrotic dance after the flag hoisting ceremony. All in all a very harmless, family oriented...kids centric programme. Atleast 20000 protestors pounced on them protesting about Kashmir, Khalistan etc. Apart from chanting all offensive slogans about India, Modi etc....they have surrounded that small Indian contingent and started throwing eggs, water bottles, coke bottles, rotten apples etc. One elderly uncle (surely in his 70s) got hurt very bad when a water bottle filled with water hit his eyes. The situation got so violent that entire central London (especially city of London area) needs to be shut down, police had to fire in the air, tear gas were shot. Harmless kids and women who came for a family event had to run for cover. Later I found out that Mayor of London Sadiq Khan had agreed and organized this protest. It was such a shameful thing to witness. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk So you're a UK citizen. You have either left India or were born in the UK. Yet you still celebrate Indian independence in the country which India gained independence from. Great logic and patriotism to your country!

G_B_ Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 see fundamentally people have the right to protest in the UK peacefully. I suspect what happened is that the police force underestimated the situation. Otherwise there would have been blocks put up and a cordon set up. The thing to learn from this is that the ISI are very organised in terms of protests in the UK. I am sure British intelligence agencies have taken note.

As an Indian we should proudly celebrate independence day irrespective of the country we reside. American's celebrate 4th July here every year, Pakistanis celebrate 14th Aug as well. I don't think many Indians hold grudge towards Britain for what happened 70 odd years ago. We have much nastier countries to worry about. mishra, sergio04 and Sgattick10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishra Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I am certain that, MI-5 would have had a field day, must have reviewed and added a lot more into their list of people to watch or use as asset in future Jihadi wars like ones in Syria.

The Americans might celebrate 4th of July but they will not make a big fuss of it here in the UK. It's called being tactful. It's different to celebrate Indian independence in America than here in the UK. The Indians at my workplace brought in Samosas which was unnecessary. I'm guessing that you are a UK citizen now as you said that you have been going to these celebrations for many years. So what exactly is the good thing about Indian independence for you if your dream was to live in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill man, just a way to connect to one's roots like cricket and movies, more like a get together and food, cultural activities etc...I doubt there is any malice. OP said 50 people attended the gathering, how many Indian origin Brits are there? How is it a big fuss? Nothing treasonous either, if you set aside a few days out of the year in these kind of events that is fine, OP isn't shouting 'India India' all year and putting down his new country. If India-UK relations were hostile you would have a point. But the relations are great at nearly every level, India is still part of Commonwealth group of nations (voluntarily), our people have never harmed UK, we dig Brit culture (incl the royalty ), speak common language, model citizens everywhere (caveat: only outside India) etc. If you don't agree with previous para both countries have shared history and I-day is to mark the end of colonialism, an evil practice which even right thinking Brits and other Europeans disapprove of. So in an ideal world even Brits should join in the celebrations , no matter what anyone says colonialism was a dark chapter (morally) in European history. Brits lost the moral right to rule us post the end of WW-II, freedom struggle was long drawn, full of sufferings and vitally a non-violent movement which should be remembered. I-day of India is a great day to cherish and an example for humanity because our forefathers did it by following ahimsa (for most parts) against brutal colonial state machinery, a feat unprecedented then. Not saying it out of hyper-nationalism or something, just that our independence movement was so different and morally/ethically a cut above similar movements elsewhere.

Stradlater Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Like I said countless times before, Pakistanis in UK are mostly inbreds therefore it is expected of them to behave in this animalistic manner. Most of them are products of first cousin marriages therefore it isn't surprising to see topping the charts whether when it comes to grooming scandals or gang businesses. sergio04, randomGuy, Norman and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMamba Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) On Sep 27 Sep 22 when Modi will address the Indian Diaspora of 50000 - right in the Pakeee Terrorist Hub of Houston. I dare the MoFos to come out and challenge the Indians there. Watch them getting pumelled like they got during the WC by the hunky Afghans ! Maa Beheney - yaad dilwa denge. Houston does not have any phucking Sajid Khan to support them. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/howdy-modi-event-in-houston-sold-out-over-50000-people-register/articleshow/70770550.cms Edited August 24, 2019 by BlackMamba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
