“Happy Indian Independence Day to all who are marking the birth of the world’s largest democracy!
“India is both an ancient civilization, and a modern leader in so many scientific, cultural and economic fields. Alberta has been hugely enriched by Desis who have brought with them a devotion to education, strong families, a respect for tradition, and pluralism.
“I wish all who are celebrating this day a joyful Indian Independence Day!
“Jai Hind!”
