A large Indian Independence Day parade and festival in Anaheim, California, earlier this week devolved into shoves and Islamophobic slurs after a group of demonstrators brought signs protesting Hindu nationalism and discrimination in India.

In a video viewed by NBC Asian America taken during the physical confrontation on Sunday, men can be seen jostling and grabbing at the young group of protesters, some shouting things like “stupid Muslims” and “get out” along with various nationalist chants.

The parade celebrates India's independence from British colonialism in 1947, which transpired along with the violent partition between India and Pakistan. On the 75th anniversary, activists said they came out to uplift oppressed minority voices on the subcontinent.
