Atlanta sources have stated that India’s 70th Independence Day was celebrated with patriotic fervor and national pride at the Consulate General of India in Atlanta and the celebration on the sunny Monday morning, Aug 15th, 2016 was attended by over 200 community members including Consulate General Nagesh Singh, consulate officials, staff and families.
It is stated that everyone has clapped with joy and pride as the tricolor was unfurled by Consul General Singh and the flower petals gently floated on the consulate lawn and the gathering have enthusiastically joined in singing India’s national anthem ‘Jana Mana Gana’.
Meanwhile one unique feature that has held India together is our respect for each other’s cultures, values and beliefs. In the networked environment of today, a caring society can only be developed by harmonizing religion with modern science.
Consul General Singh has added that in his view it is the greatest experiment in world history. Let’s all work together and not be critical of each other. Dialogue is the way forward. Rather than using virtual space, share your thoughts and ideas about India by interacting personally with us.
