A Daughter’s Heartfelt Tribute from Across the Ocean
On January 26, 1950, India embraced its destiny as a sovereign republic, guided by a Constitution born from sacrifice and vision. Seventy-seven years later, that spirit still pulses through every Indian heart—at home and abroad.
Though I now live in the U.S., India remains my soul. I was born there, but it was my father—who came from Gujarat with just $50 and pumped gas in the freezing Chicago winter—who gave us a future here. India is my Mother. The U.S. is my Father. Both shaped me.
Each Republic Day, we gather with our Indian community—dressed in tricolor, singing the national anthem, sharing food and stories that keep our roots alive. Nostalgia fills the air: memories of school parades, jalebis, and patriotic songs.
At 77, India may not be perfect, but she is strong. Her legacy lives in all of us who carry her in our hearts, no matter where we are.
Jai Hind.
