“The first ever India Day Parade in Boston was a historic success. All credit goes to the Indian-Amencans in the city and the volunteers who worked day and night to make this a grand success,” said community leader Abhishek Singh, the president of the Federation of Indian Associations-New England which was the organiser of the parade

Why is the Indian flag hoisted’ on Independence Day but unfurled on Republic Day?

Singh, the brain behind the India Day Parade in Boston, said that he was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for celebrating 75 years of Independent India as “The Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav across the world.

“Boston is known for starting America’s freedom struggle. So, we decided to celebrate this in a grand manner in this historic city.” he said.

During the parade on Saturday that culminated at the Boston Harbor, an airplane carrying a 220-feet India-US Flag flew over the city.

“India’s tricolor flying high in the sky stole the heart of the public at large. It was not just an ordinary flag, it was a 220-feet long Indian tricolor flying along with an Amencan star spangle being flown by a small airplane in the blue sky scattered with white and grey clouds.”
