Independence Day 2021: Indian-Americans begin early celebrations, New York to unfurl largest flag ever
On the occasion several hundred Independence Day celebrations will be held across the country, many of which will be attended by Congressmen and state governors
Washington: Thousands of Indian-Americans have begun early celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of India’s Independence and a milestone in the country’s history.
From iconic Times Square in New York, where the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) would unfurl the largest ever flag in the Big Apple on Sunday to the US Capitol here and mansions of several governors across the country, India’s 75th Independence Day is being celebrated in a big way.
“This is a historic moment for all of 1.4 billion people in India and 4.5 million Indian-Americans. To celebrate the occasion, we are unfurling the largest flag on Times Square,” Ankur Vaidya, FIA president told PTI.
It’s a 60 square feet flag over a 25 feet high pole, he added.
Several buildings in the US, including the Empire Estate, are being lightened with Indian tri-colour over the weekend, while another group of Indian-Americans are celebrating the 75th Independence Day over a ferry on the Hudson River.
“India in these 75 years has emerged as a mature democracy and a pillar of global peace. This year is special for all of us. The United States has a vice president who is of Indian origin,” said Alok Kumar, an IT entrepreneur from New Jersey.

There is no allusion to any other text here, so that is not the correct answer. There are also no rhetorical questions - questions that don't need an answer because it is implied. I guess there is logic, but it is not a rhetorical device really. So, I'd choose anecdote, because an anecdote is a short, interesting story from someone's life, as is the case here.</span>
