Trafalgar Square's history reveals its role as a gathering point for the Indian diaspora, from independence protests in the early 20th century to 1980s civil rights advocacy. This transformation underscores the ongoing struggle for equality and cultural pride, where the square evolves from a symbol of British imperialism to a stage for representation and celebration.

It showcased how cultural practices can transform public spaces, offering a powerful contrast between division and community, emphasizing the positive impact of inclusive events in fostering solidarity amongst diverse backgrounds.
