Gurkha protest

One of my final pieces for my uni project, 'Politics of Identity.' A reportage illustration of the Gurkhas' protest down at Whitehall. The protest was in support of Gurkha veteran Gyanraj Rai (far right), who was on a hunger strike in protest over their pension rights and compensation for disparity in pay with other British soldiers. Thankfully, his hunger strike - lasting 15 days - ended 21/11/13 as it was announced a parliamentary inquiry would be launched looking into the Gurkhas' treatment.

Done in ink and coffee.
