I spent the day with Patriotic Indians at Trafalgar Square. I was a fun time for like minded Indians to shout slogans, sings songs, dance and watch performances by Indian dancers.
It was also a message to the British Sikhs (a minority) who had gathered to demand a separate state from India. They were joined by likes of Lord Nazir a Kashmiri separatist their common link appeared to by Pakistan.
A white tourist family came to us wearing a separatist tee shirt, when I explained what it meant he immediately took it off and said but we support India and are from Israel.
As a Friend of India I was interviewed by various media outlets and the message was though the separatists had 1000 odd presence they had no support from India wheres we fewer in number were backed by 1.2bn Indians. And their demands would never be met.
