🇮🇳✨ 79 Years of Freedom, Pride & Unity – Celebrated in Milan! 🇮🇹✨

The Indian Association of Northern Italy had the honour of joining the Consulate General of India, Milan to celebrate our 79th Independence Day.

Though miles away from our motherland, Milan has become home for many of us — and today, it echoed with the spirit of India. From the proud flag hoisting to the heartfelt National Anthem and vibrant cultural performances, every moment was a reminder of our shared heritage and unbreakable bond.

Here’s our cherished group photo with Hon’ble CG Shri Lavanya Kumar, marking a day of unity, patriotism, and pride for every Indian in Italy.

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳❤️
