An article from the January 18, 1908 issue of the San Francisco Call describing a public protest by sixteen UC Berkeley students at a speech on India by J. Lovell Murray, a Christian evangelist who had worked in India. According to the article, a Stanford student heard Murray's lecture about India, found it offensive, and tipped off Indian students at UC Berkeley. When Murray came to lecture in Berkeley, he was confronted by sixteen "Oriental" students. After Murray spoke, Girindra Mukerji and six other students spoke up to critique Murray's comments about Hinduism, and denounce British rule in India.As of 2013, the Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour described the incident as the earliest-known South Asian protest in the city of Berkeley, and possibly one of the earliest South Asian campus protests in the United States.
