The morning was crisp and clear in London as the first marchers began to gather outside the British Parliament.
Quiet but resolute, they carried banners reading, "Stop the Hate," "We Are Builders, Not Burdens," and "Justice for Indians Abroad."
What began as a trickle soon swelled into a crowd of thousands, their chants echoing through the heart of the city.
Professor Ajay standing at the front of the protest, adjusted his spectacles and addressed the gathered crowd with a loudspeaker in hand.
"We are here not as agitators, but as contributors to this society," he declared. "We helped build the roads you walk on, the hospitals you visit, and the businesses that sustain this economy. And yet, we are attacked, vilified, and treated as outsiders. Today, we say, 'No more!'"
The crowd erupted into cheers, their voices reverberating across Westminster.
Passersby stopped to watch, some nodding in agreement, others whispering among themselves.
