An enthusiastic selection from the Diaspora support group, Indian Ladies in UK, has been practicing for a unique flash mob in Trafalgar Square to celebrate 70 years of Indian independence. On Saturday, August 13th a large group of ladies from the group participated in a memorable event at the London landmark.
The flash mob has been choreographed by Sumeet's Step2Step Bollywood Dance Academy led by Sumeet Sachdev who has spent weeks building the confidence of the ladies involved. This is the group’s third flash mob in the space of a year and has acted as a great tool to empower women. The group presented Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, a crochet blanket made of thousands of crochet squares made by the migrant women on his inaugural trip to London after winning a landslide election in 2014. This was ILU’s first community project to promote what it now holds as its tagline ‘unity in diversity’. Indian Ladies in the UK is an Indian women-only organisation that represents mainly first generation Migrant women from India living in the UK. Indian Ladies in UK is now 11,000 members strong and has connected thousands of members throughout the UK.
