The 40th edition of the annual India Day Parade featured a scale model of the Ram Temple, causing mixed reactions from the Indian American community.
The float depicting the Ram Mandir drew significant protests, as organizations like CAIR expressed concerns about hate speech and promotion of anti-Muslim sentiment.
Despite the presence of protestors holding signs like 'Hindutva Kills', the parade proceeded peacefully, a testament to the event's well-organized nature.
Diverse representation was seen at the parade, with floats for Dalits, Bahujans, Sikhs, and a banner reading 'Muslims for Peace and Love', promoting inclusivity.
