Today marks the 77th anniversary of India’s independence—a day of immense significance not just for those in India, but for every Indian around the globe. As a British Indian, this day resonates deeply with me, connecting me to my roots in a profound way. Though miles away from the land of my ancestors, the values, culture, and spirit of India continue to shape who I am. The lessons of resilience, unity in diversity, and the relentless pursuit of progress are as relevant here in the UK as they are in India. These are the principles that have guided my journey, both personally and professionally. Being part of two rich cultures offers a unique perspective—one that embraces the global while honoring the traditional. It’s a reminder that while we may spread our wings across the world, our roots still anchor us to where we come from. Today, as we commemorate India’s independence, I reflect on the sacrifices made by countless individuals to secure the freedom we celebrate. It’s a reminder that the spirit of independence is not just about the past; it’s about fostering the values of liberty, justice, and equality in our lives every day. Happy Independence Day, India and to all those celebrating! Here’s to the continued growth and prosperity of the land that has given so much to the world. 🇮🇳 #IndependenceDay #IndiaAt77 #BritishIndian #GlobalCitizen
