A recent viral video has sparked significant controversy, showing a group of Indian tourists enthusiastically chanting slogans near a street performer in Paris. The incident occurred in the bustling Montmartre area, where passersby watched in disbelief.

The video depicts one man putting his arm around the mime performer, chanting slogans like 'Jai Maharashtra' and 'Jai Shiv Sena'. The performer, visibly uncomfortable, repeatedly gestured for the group to stop, though his requests went unheeded.

The behavior has ignited online debates regarding the appropriateness of such nationalistic displays abroad. Critics argue it reflects poorly on tourists and disrespects the performer's space. The situation has spurred widespread social media condemnation, with calls for greater awareness of public conduct while traveling.
