Protesters were seen holding placards which read: "Bharat Mata Ki Jai".
Indians living in New York and New Jersey states along with the officials of the diaspora organisation -- Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) reportedly participated in the event.
Joining the protest, members of the Tibetan and Taiwanese community raised voices against China.
