Dear Friends,

I am pleased to extend my greetings to the readers of The Indian Panorama and to all those that are celebrating the historic 67th Anniversary of the Republic Day of India.

Americans’ of South Asian heritage have enhanced the economic, social and cultural enrichment of our country and local communities, earning the respect and admiration of their fellow citizens. They are to be commended for their outstanding contributions, which have enhanced numerous aspects of heritage, history, literature, and social life.

As the Nassau County Executive, it gives me great pleasure to honor the South Asian American community on the occasion of the anniversary of the Republic Day of India, in fitting tribute to the vital and vibrant contributions that South Asian Americans’ have made to the quality of life in Nassau County and throughout the nation.

Best wishes for continued success in all your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Edward P. Mangano

County Executive
