India's growing influence on the global stage is making anti-national forces uncomfortable. This is why India’s rise is not being accepted by its opponents. A recent incident in the UK highlights this, where Foreign Minister S Jaishankar faced protests from Khalistani supporters during his visit to London. The demonstrators attempted to surround S Jaishankar, raising pro-Khalistan slogans such as "Khalistan Zindabad." A video of this incident has gone viral on social media, capturing Khalistani supporters shouting anti-India slogans outside the venue.

Khalistani Supporter Attempts to Tear Indian Flag in London
Another viral video circulating on social media shows a shocking act of aggression.

Political analysts believe that India's rise as a global powerhouse is exposing the weak strategies of its opponents. This frustration has led anti-India groups, including Khalistani extremists, to resort to such disruptive actions. Experts suggest that these protests highlight the desperation of such groups as they fail to gain widespread support in the UK.
S Jaishankar’s Visit to the UK Holds Diplomatic Importance
Despite the protests, S Jaishankar’s visit to the UK remains significant for India-UK relations. During his trip, he met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and other senior leaders. The discussions focused on strengthening economic cooperation, enhancing diplomatic ties, and fostering people-to-people exchanges between India and Britain. The outcomes of these high-level meetings are expected to bring positive developments for both nations.
