US singer Mary Millben joins India in Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, sings Indian National Anthem on National Flag Day

Washington, July 23: At a time when India is gearing up to celebrate its 75 years of independence, Mary Millben, a prominent African-American Hollywood actress and singer, joined the celebration by singing the National Anthem on the occasion of National Flag Day.

 

She shared a video of herself singing the national anthem and tweeted, "In America, we honor our flag as the symbol of our citizenship, patriotism, and love of country. 🇺🇸 I join India in celebrating 75 years of its national flag #Tiranga, adopted 7/22/1947 🇮🇳. Honoring the flag honors the country. #HarGharTiranga @AmritMahotsav #AmritMahotsav."

 

 

 

For the unreserved, India celebrates National Flag Day every year on July 22, 2022. It was on this day that the tricolour was adopted as the national flag of India in 1947. The adoption of the national flag of India was the first thing that was discussed when the members of the Indian Constituent Assembly convened in the Constitution Hall in Delhi on July 22, 1947.

 

This is not the first time that Mary has done this. Earlier, she had sung the National Anthem on the occasion of the country's 74th Independence Day. Milben has been studying Hindi and Indian culture from Dr Moxraj who served as a cultural diplomat at the Embassy of India in Washington DC.
