India's 'Suryapath Tiranga' Global Flag Relay Marks 80th Independence Day
India marked its 80th Independence Day with the 'Suryapath Tiranga' initiative, a global relay of the national flag carried east to west across Indian missions worldwide. Starting in Fiji and concluding in San Francisco, the campaign symbolically followed the rising sun, connecting Indian diplomatic missions and the diaspora. The initiative, part of the broader Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, aimed to foster unity and national pride across time zones, with flag hoisting ceremonies held despite local events like the Indonesia earthquake.
