In the United Kingdom, activist Tommy Robinson recently led a large rally under the banner of ‘Unite the Kingdom,’ which was directed against immigrants. However, when it comes to the Indian community, Robinson’s views have taken a different turn. Unlike his usual right-wing stance, Robinson expressed a positive opinion of Indians, particularly Hindus, calling them a peaceful and harmonious immigrant group who integrate well with British life.
This stance has sparked surprise, as Robinson had previously been vocal about the threat he perceives from other immigrant groups, especially Muslims. He has often stated that these groups pose a risk to British identity. Robinson, however, distanced himself from such criticism when it came to Indians, stating that they are likely to blend seamlessly into British society. He also highlighted the differences between Indian immigrants and those coming from Muslim-majority countries, particularly after clashes between Hindu and Muslim communities following the 2022 Asia Cup.
Robinson’s support extends to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who he openly backed in 2024. He reassured the public that Hindus do not cause fear or discord and would contribute positively to the UK’s multicultural fabric. His comments have since gone viral, with several past interviews highlighting his stance on Indian immigrants.
His remarks about the Indian community have stirred discussions, with many expressing astonishment at the contrast to his usual rhetoric. Despite his controversial reputation, Robinson’s views on Indians remain a point of curiosity.
