Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have proclaimed August 15 as "India Day" to mark India's Independence Day and recognise the contributions of the Indian-American community. The proclamation highlights India's position as the country with the world's largest diaspora, with over 36 million people living abroad. It also acknowledges the growing cultural, economic and educational ties between India and Massachusetts. The move comes ahead of India's 79th Independence Day and celebrates the achievements of Indian-Americans across sectors, including healthcare, technology, business, education and public service.
