Consul general of India Randhir Jaiswal hoisted the tricolour as hundreds and those present saluted it as the national anthem played.
“We had also got the biggest jumbotron at Times Square to display Independence Day messages,” said FIA chairman Ankur Vaidya. “The Empire State Building was lit up in the colours of Indian national flag, while later the FIA organized its annual gala on a yacht on the Hudson River.”
Anil Bansal, FIA president, said it was a privilege and freedom that as Americans they celebrate their history, culture and expressed love for the motherland. This year, a new chapter of FIA in New England also celebrated Independence Day with the diaspora.
