Diaspora a "living bridge" between UK-India

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to the British Indian community for all their contribution in our battle against the ongoing pandemic, especially the NHS and care workers. As we celebrate 74^th Indian Independence Day, we have all the reasons to be so proud of all that India has achieved since its Independence and what Indians have achieved in Britain. British Indians have contributed immensely and are touching new heights in all quarters of British life including, politics, business, art & culture, sports, civil service and of course, the NHS. Looking forward, India-UK partnership has huge opportunities to work together in a post-Covid, post-Brexit world. And British Indians will have a very important role to play in realising those opportunities by being the “living bridge” between the two nations.  I want to congratulate everyone a very Happy Indian Independence Day!- Rajesh Agrawal, Co-Chair, Labour Friends of India and Deputy Mayor of London for Business
