A video of a man saying “Indians belong to England” and “We gave India back to India” allegedly to a woman who identifies as the “daughter of an Indian immigrant” has sparked a huge backlash on social media. The now-deleted video shows the man’s rant on a UK train.
Gabrielle Forsyth originally posted the video on X but later deleted it, claiming that she faced online racism due to the clip. However, in other posts on her profile, she explained that she met the drunk man while travelling on a train. The video has now made it to other social media platforms.
