Authentic Indian values of inclusivity, diversity, and unity are at the core of our British Indian identity. These values have long defined India's strength and resilience. However, they are now under threat. India's democratic status has been downgraded to 'partly free' by Freedom House, signalling a worrying trend of diminishing individual freedoms and democratic safeguards. The independent media, opposition figures, and activists face constant threats and attacks, undermining the institutions meant to uphold these cherished values. In the face of these challenges to India's democracy, the British Indian community must stand firm in defence of our shared values. We have inherited a legacy of inclusivity, diversity, and democracy, and it is our duty to safeguard them. Together, we can be a potent force advocating for the protection of what makes us proud to be British Indians.

India's rich history of culture and community is something to be proud of. As British Indians, we are part of this heritage. With a diverse population and deep traditions, India stands as a symbol of unity and strength.
The British Indian community thrives in the UK, numbering almost two million. Our families' journeys from India have brought cherished traditions and values, enriching our lives. These ties to India define us and should be cherished.
With India's global prominence growing, it's crucial for British Indians to stay connected to our homeland. We must celebrate our heritage and stand for shared values like inclusivity and democracy, which shape our traditions and histories.
