Hello, ma'am, what's your name? [0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=6) Hello, my name is Tanvi. Tanvi, what's the purpose behind organizing the protest in Melbourne? [0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=10) What's the purpose? Look, this question is being raised a lot, that why we're doing this here, and the simple answer is that despite living so far away, we don't forget our parents nor our families, how could we forget our country? That's why we're doing this while living here. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=27) Because we're connected. Our roots are in India, right? [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=31) We were born there. We've spent an important part of our lives there, and while living here, we always celebrate when India has done something good, and when something goes wrong in India, we'll speak out about that too. So The only reason we're demonstrating here is so that those in India walking on the streets know that we can see you, [0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=55) we can hear you, and that you are not alone in your struggle. [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=59) We stand with you with all our heart and soul. [1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=62) We do. Okay, so how would you like to support them? [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=65) Protesting is fine, because if there are protests against the government, it will improve things, right? But at protests, both in India and here, I've seen some people writing abuses against the government, meaning filthy insults against the Prime Minister, [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=77) and using abusive language as well. Also, someone here today mentioned Neha Vora's name. Yesterday, Neha Vora said that Bangladesh has shown them the way. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=85) Do you want India to end up like Bangladesh? [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=89) people? So I, I knew someone or other would definitely ask this question. So… [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=93) First of all, everyone, in their own way, should have the freedom to express themselves, right? [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=99) They're doing that. Maybe I don't accept that, maybe I don't adopt that very thing. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=103) But everyone has their own way. You can go and ask them how they're doing it there. As for Neha Vora, leaving aside such an important common issue, if you focus on the question of why she mentioned Bangladesh, then I think that the question itself is wrong, because the real issue is very different. The real issue [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=127) is very different for you. What I can guarantee about them is that their intention is in the right place. [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=133) I'm not at all saying their intentions are wrong, but Bangladesh... [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=135) Only Neha Vora can answer why she spoke about Bangladesh. [2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=139) She gave a reference that her students also said, "We speak too." are, talking about India. That's why I said that the issue should not be distracted from, and the right issue should be discussed. Thank you. [2:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=150) I am not distracting either, sorry. I had another question for you, madam. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=154) She left as soon as she heard Neha Vora's name. She said that the question itself was wrong. [2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=158) However, a name was mentioned here. It was said that these people are inspired by Neha Vora and, inspired by Neha Vora, these people are doing this here, and here they openly said, "Neha Vora, we support you." Now that I asked this very question, she left. Anyway, what is your opinion on this? [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7lwpLuodBARj/en/melbourne-protest-organizer-discusses-support-for-india-and-neha-vora?t=172) After seeing this kind of protest in Melbourne, you can write your opinion in the comment box, and as for me, I am neither for nor against anyone.
