Colorful Pride: Indians Mark 61st Republic Day
A colorful display of floats, military capabilites and Indian culture by the India armed forces, artisans and school kids marked the 61st. Republic Day celebrations in India.
U.S. President Barack Obama greeted the Indian community in U.S. and the people of India in a special message. San Francisco, Mayor Gavin Newsom joined the community at the Palace of Fine Arts, Jan. 26. to mark India’s Republic Day. Siliconeer presents a photo essay.
Statement by President Obama on India’s 61st Republic Day
 I send my warmest wishes on behalf of the American people to the people of India and to those here in America and around the world who are celebrating Republic Day. As the world’s largest democracies, the United States and India have a strong shared belief in the values of liberty, pluralism, and religious tolerance.
This Republic Day is particularly special because it marks India’s Diamond Jubilee. In the sixty years since the Indian Constitution was adopted, we have built a strong and vibrant partnership. I was pleased that Prime Minister Singh was the honored guest for the first state dinner of my Presidency. It was a chance to celebrate the great and growing partnership between our two Nations, and the friendship between our peoples. Indeed, the more than two million Indian Americans in the United States enrich every corner of our great nation – leading in government, science, industry and the arts. And as our peoples continue to build upon that friendship, let our governments continue to work together to advance peace, prosperity, and stability around the globe.
