Protest against state visit of India’s PM Narendra Modi to the United States

A man puts the sole of his shoe - a terrible insult - on India's flag in protest against President Joe Biden’s decision to welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a state visit to the White House. Demonstrators object to human and civil rights abuses, erosion of religious freedom and democracy, and Hindu nationalism that have occurred in India since Modi took office in 2014.
