Right from Swami Vivekananda’s groundbreaking speech at the 1893 World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago, United States to the exceptional reception accorded to Mahatma Gandhi on his foreign visits, modern history is a testament to the glory of India.

For the past 4-5 decades India and Indians have been making an indelible mark across the continents, countries, and some of the biggest names spanning across different industries.

And wherever they might be, Indians make sure that no event connected to their motherland goes unnoticed and is celebrated with full fervour and enthusiasm. And what’s more important than the Independence Day of India?

Just like many previous occasions, this year too Indians across the world on Tuesday enthusiastically celebrated India’s 77th Independence Day by gathering at the diplomatic missions, exchanging greetings and rendering the national anthem and patriotic songs.

In Washington, America, President Joe Biden joined Indian Americans in celebrating India’s 77th Independence Day. Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State said the bilateral relationship between the United States and India is deeper and more expansive than ever.
