India Republic Day in Toronto
On January 26th, we celebrated India Republic Day at the India Consulate in Toronto, hosted by the Consul General, Ms. Apoorva Srivastava. In India, January 26th is considered the day the constitution was adopted, making India a republic. It was adopted in 1950. And so, every year, on January 26th, it is commemorated in India and abroad.
The Indian flag was unfurled by the Consul General, who gave a short speech, followed by lovely entertainment. Breakfast was provided by Chaska. They have several locations in Toronto and Mississauga (I love Indian food). Here are some highlights:
