(Minghui.org) Around 200 Falun Dafa practitioners from several cities in India, as well as practitioners from Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the U.S.A assembled in New Delhi for the 2017 India Experience Sharing Conference on July 14-17 2017. They also held activities to commemorate July 20, 1999, the day the persecution of Falun Dafa in China began.

Many elderly practitioners traveled a long distance by bus and metro to participate in the march and candlelight vigil. They were energized by the experience and did not feel tired.
Practitioners held a march at Connaught Place, Inner Circle, to raise awareness of the persecution of Falun Dafa in China.
The practitioners walked for 2 km on Saturday July 15, in the inner circle of Connaught Place leading up to Central Park.
In Central Park, practitioners sat together to form the words “Falun Dafa,” and held a candlelight vigil to mark the 18th year since the persecution in China began.
Since the parade route was along a busy thoroughfare with a huge shopping arcade, thousands of people stopped to watch, and took informational handouts to learn more about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
