Labour-run Croydon Council celebrates Indian Independence Day

Labour-run Croydon Council celebrated the Indian Independence Day with the hoisting of the national flag and singing of the national anthem. Holding the flag is the Mayor of Croydon, Councillor Sherwan Chowdhry. A representative from the High Commission of India was also present. Labour Friends of India also organised the independence day celebrations on zoom. As a guest speaker Nitin Mehta emphasised that though we are celebrating the 75th Independence day, India was actually a civilisation going back tens of thousands of years. It is the oldest and living civilisation. The great minds of India had made amazing discoveries in Mathematics, Astronomy, Medicine, Shipbuilding and in almost all facets of life.
