Indian expatriates in the UAE have commenced the 78th Independence Day celebrations of their homeland with a series of community-driven events, including a significant blood donation drive and an art exhibition.

Key Takeaways

  • Indian expats in the UAE have started celebrating India’s 78th Independence Day.
  • Events include a blood donation drive and an art exhibition.
  • Official flag hoisting ceremonies will be held on August 15.

Blood Donation Drive

The Indian Consulate in Dubai organized a ‘Mega Blood Donation Campaign’ to mark the occasion. Yatin Patel, Deputy Consul General of India in Dubai, joined over 130 donors in this annual event. The campaign was held in association with FOI Events and aimed to commemorate India’s Independence Day, which falls on August 15.

Art Exhibition and Workshops

In Abu Dhabi, the Indian Embassy conducted an Indian art workshop in the lead-up to Independence Day. The workshop featured master classes by renowned traditional Indian artists. The best works from the participants will be showcased at the official Independence Day celebrations on August 15.

Official Ceremonies

The official flag hoisting ceremonies will take place on August 15. Indian Ambassador to the UAE, Sunjay Sudhir, will hoist the Indian national flag at the Embassy in Abu Dhabi at 7:30 AM. In Dubai, Consul General of India, Satish Kumar Sivan, will unfurl the tricolor at the Indian Consulate at 7:00 AM. Both officials will read excerpts from the Independence Day address by Indian President Droupadi Murmu, followed by cultural programs at both missions.

Community Involvement

Various Indian community groups in the UAE will also hold celebrations to commemorate India’s independence from nearly 200 years of British rule in 1947. The 3.5 million-strong Indian community forms the largest expatriate population in the UAE and is actively participating in these events.

Additional Activities

The Embassy in Abu Dhabi will also hold a tree plantation ceremony as part of the celebrations. Indian expats have been invited to attend the various ceremonies and events, making it a community-wide celebration.

The series of events not only marks India’s 78th Independence Day but also strengthens the bond among the Indian diaspora in the UAE, fostering a sense of unity and patriotism.
