“Tulsi, Mascot of India’s KKK,” declared signs held by approximately 30 demonstrators outside the She the People forum hosted on the campus of Southern Texas University (TSU) in Houston, Texas. The diverse group included Indian-Americans from Buddhist, Muslim, and Sikh backgrounds, as well as African-Americans. Gabbard, one of eight presidential candidates participating in the forum, was the only one protested.
