Tibetan Community Protests China's Ethnic Unity Law in Mumbai
On August 3, 2026, Tibetan refugees and community members in Mumbai protested against China's new Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, which took effect on July 1. Demonstrations occurred near the Chinese Consulate and at Azad Maidan, involving groups like the Tibetan Youth Congress and Friends of Tibet. Protesters criticized the law for promoting Mandarin over native languages and increasing state control over cultural and religious practices. The events also honored Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen, who self-immolated in New York to oppose the law. The Chinese government states the law aims to foster national unity among ethnic groups.
