“Happy Independence Day to Albertans of Indian origin who are celebrating this 75th anniversary of the creation of the modern Republic of India!
“The world’s largest democracy was created 75 years ago today upon the foundations of one of humanity’s oldest civilizations. India has grown into one of the world’s largest economies and a leader in science, technology and innovation while staying true to its roots as a society grounded in spiritual values and a remarkable pluralism of diverse culture and religions.
“Alberta is blessed to have been enriched by tens of thousands of newcomers of Indian origin who are passing on to future generations their devotion to Indian religious and cultural traditions.”
