Hundreds of UK-based Indians turned out to cheer as cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar welcomed an Indian naval frigate as it docked on the river Thames in London today. INS Tarkash, a state-of-the art stealth ship, is in the UK for naval exercises and to mark UK India Year of
Culture 2017.
The frigate's arrival in London was marked by a series of Indian cultural performances, with the crowds dancing to patriotic tunes. INS Tarkash set sail from Mumbai last month and will remain docked in London until next week.
