New Jersey (USA): India’s Independence Day was celebrated with much fervour here in the USA, with members of the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) participating enthusiastically in a parade alongside other fellow Indian Americans of diverse backgrounds.
Dressed in traditional attire and waving the Tricolour, members of IAMC’s New Jersey chapter, including their children and families, walked down the Edison road to mark the celebrations.
The parade, organised by the Indian Business Association, also had representation from Hindus and Indian Christians.
IAMC was introduced by the parade’s MCs as an advocacy group “guided by a passionate commitment to justice, civil rights, and harmony,” and members were invited onto the stage for a photo opportunity, according to a press statement issued by IAMC.
