\nMEMBER FOR GRAYNDLER<\/strong>

\n 
\nINDIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY<\/u><\/strong><\/div>\n

 
\nOn behalf of the Australian Labor Party, I send my best wishes to the Australian Indian community ahead of the anniversary of Indian Independence. The celebrations have added meaning as we begin a year-long celebration leading up to the 75th anniversary of your Independence.
\n 
\nComing just two years after the end of World War II, India\u2019s independence was nothing short of a beacon of light after a period of profound darkness. As the clock struck midnight that fateful August night, it was what Prime Minister Nehru so famously described as a \u201ctryst with destiny\u201d.
\n 
\nNearly three quarters of a century later, India still leads the world as our largest democracy and as a remarkable, vibrant and diverse country.
\n 
\nWith so much upended by the turmoil of pandemic, the celebrations of this momentous anniversary will be subdued \u2013 even more so for the great many of us who are thinking of family and loved ones across the seas. There is a new tyranny of distance, but I have every hope that it will soon be behind us.
\n 
\nWhile the current circumstances are different, the sentiments are the same. I know Australian Indians will be reflecting on the past 74 years with pride, while looking ahead to a future bright with progress and growth. 
\n 
\nI wish you a proud and joyous Independence Day, and I look forward to when we can join together in celebration once more.
