Independence Day in style

May 31 2010
Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust, which has been working efficiently for years together as a socio-cultural body for the Indian Community, is going to present an implausible Indian experience and mark the 63rd Independence Day in August.
The grand event, on Sunday August 15, at the ASB Theatre, Auckland, will be organised in partnership with various local Indian associations and bodies, Trust secretary Roopa Suchdev said.
The celebration shall begin with the flag hoisting which will be held 10.30am followed by a cultural programme from 11am until 3pm.
True to its identity and philosophy of 'Unity amidst Diversity', the Indian Independence day will showcase the variety in culture, dance forms, music, art and cuisine. India being the largest democracy in the world with a civilisation more than 5000 years old boasts of multiple cultural origins.
The event promises a foretaste of this diversity and multiculturalism that is also an inherent character of any Indian living in New Zealand.
Chairman Jeet Suchdev said that “While we are keen to share our big day with the people of New Zealand, we would also like to make the generation next aware of their roots which have strong and rich cultural inheritance and acquaint them with this event from a historical perspective.”
The event will be graced by many dignitaries from New Zealand and India and once again hope to get the best support possible through a positive approach,
