The incident, which involved police officers and local residents, has drawn attention due to its racial and cultural implications. "We are one country," the Court reiterated, urging the government to ensure the safety and dignity of all citizens, regardless of their state or cultural background. The remarks serve as a reminder that India’s strength lies in its diversity, and that regional identities must be respected and celebrated rather than ridiculed or suppressed.

Reports indicate that the students were allegedly coerced into speaking Hindi, mocked for wearing traditional attire, and subjected to physical violence.
