British Kashmiris observed Indian Republic Day as Black Day.

LONDON -- Thousands of British Kashmiris staged the anti-India protest on the eve of India's Republic Day against the rising human rights violations in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmiris across the Line of Control (LoC) and in other parts of the world observed Republic Day as Black Day to remind the world that India has snatched the right of vote from Kashmiris since last more than seven decades.
