A recent incident in Paris has sparked social media outrage after a group of Indian men was filmed loudly chanting nationalist slogans near a street mime performer. The video, shot in the Montmartre area, shows one individual putting his arm around the mime and shouting, while others join in with slogans like 'Jai Maharashtra' and 'Jai Shiv Sena'.

The mime performer, evidently uncomfortable, attempted to signal the group to cease their chants.
