“On the midnight of December 31, 1929 in Lahore, the session of the Indian National Congress was under progress. At the stroke of midnight it was decided by the nationalists that every year on January 26, the “Independence Day” would be celebrated and that the people of India would strive unceasingly for the establishment of a Sovereign Democratic Republic of India. The Independence from the British rule was achieved on August 15, 1947. However, the professed pledge on Dec. 31, 1929 was successfully redeemed on January 26, 1950.”

 

In these 53 years of Independence, we have grown leaps and slipped bounds in various areas, but till date, we remain one of the largest democratic nations. No other country can draw on such a wealth of traditions and cultures, so many regional forms of dances and dress, and no other country in the world can parade so many ethnically different people. On Jan. 26, 2003, back home our folks will be watching the Republic day celebration, which has rightly become one of the greatest shows on earth drawing thousands of spectators and millions of television viewers. I still remember my sweet Jan. 26 holiday when I hold my filter coffee (courtesy: Mom) and sit in front of our famous solidaire TV to watch the Republic day parade.

We wanted to bring this festive mood to Boise and celebrate our rich culture, provide an opportunity to every individual to dress and dance, celebrate our kids and showcase their talents and at the same time exchange and give something back to the community that we live in. In this past year we have had two quality entertainment programs, Holi in early March and Diwali function in November. The response from individuals as participants, volunteers, and audience was impressive. On the foundation of such impressive programs and with the confidence in our strong, talented, and motivated community, we would like to announce the birth of another event, “Indian Cultural Night 2003”.
