Sahitharan was a twenty-nine-year-old asylum seeker from Sri Lanka. He was waylaid by a group of young whites and bashed to death in London…Over 4000 people from all ethnic groups joined the march…there were only 150 tamils…the largest non-Tamil representation…was made up of black Africans. It was of interest that the trustees…of the Wimbledon Hindu temple denied the organizers of the march the right to hang posters on the temple premises. Their reason? "We do not want to antagonize the white community"
