Satyam Surana, an Indian student studying in London, gained attention for picking up the national flag from the ground during a protest led by Khalistani activists outside the Indian High Commission. Surana expressed concern about Indians living abroad adopting an anti-India stance for fashion and emphasized the importance of unity as India becomes a global superpower. He urged Indians to counteract such sentiments intellectually rather than physically.
Satyam, a student at the London School of Economics, said: "I saw the Indian flag was being demeaned, went behind the police lady who had stepped on the flag intentionally. I picked up the flag and I just moved away then." Indian Student Who Protected Tricolour During Khalistani Protest in London Says 'My Conscience Persuaded Me to Protest Tiranga'.
