Top Indian Independence Day Celebrations Worldwide
Let’s see how these countries celebrated Indian Independence Day 2023.
Australia
Like every year the Sydney Opera House was lit in the tricolour on the 15th of August 2023. Not only this, there were various events organised in Australia including the one organised by the Indian consulate which included the hoisting of the Indian national flag and other celebrations with fellow Indians.
The head of the consulate in Australia welcomed all Indians to the celebrations organized. One can also be a part of parades and cultural events organised in different places. There are even some friendly community matches between Indians and Australians on this day, so if you have a knack for Cricket you can join these matches.
France
This year, not only did French President Emmanuel Macron congratulate the president but also reminded the world of our articulated vision of cooperation till 2047. India would have lived 100 years of Independence by then.
Apart from this, the Indian Embassy in France organised a flag-hoisting ceremony which was joined by 500 members of the Indian community in France and their friends. The event was full of zeal and enthusiasm with speeches and the salute to the tricolour.
Dubai, UAE
When it comes to the best celebrations the view of Burj Khalifa reflecting the Indian national flag atop its grandeur is unbeatable. But this was not it in Dubai, the Indian Consulate General in Dubai partnered with the Burjuman Mall to arrange the Independence Day festivities and the event became a grand celebration in Dubai.
Organizers arranged cultural events and celebrations at multiple locations, and the large Indian diaspora in the country joined in the spirit of Independence. The mall organized Indian dances and various activities signifying the rich cultural festivities of India.
USA
In this year’s festivities of Indian Independence Day, the USA has topped the list with flying colours. The US House of Representatives introduced a resolution to declare the 15th of August as a National Holiday. It is for no other reason than to celebrate the ‘National Day of Celebration of the World’s Two Largest Democracies’.
This will strengthen the ties between India and USA with their shared bond of democracy. Indians across the USA participated in rallies and carried Indian and US national flags in the celebrations. The locals also joined these widespread events.
