India's 80th Independence Day Marked by Global Suryapath Tiranga Flag Relay
India's 80th Independence Day was marked globally through the Suryapath Tiranga initiative, a symbolic relay of the national flag carried east to west across Indian missions worldwide. Starting in Fiji and concluding in San Francisco, the relay connected diplomatic posts from Asia to the Americas, including ceremonies in Canberra, Jakarta, and New Zealand. The initiative, part of the broader Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, aims to unite the Indian diaspora and missions in a continuous celebration across time zones, even amid events like the recent earthquake in Indonesia.
