Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE are preparing for India's 80th Independence Day celebrations on August 15. Both the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General in Dubai are hosting on-site events and online activities for the Indian expat community and friends of India. The flag hoisting ceremony will take place at 7am at both locations, with Dr Deepak Mittal, the Indian Ambassador to the UAE, and Dr E. Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, the Consul General, unfurling the tricolour.
A new initiative, Surya Path Tiranga, will see a symbolic relay of flag hoisting across Indian missions and posts, tracing the path of the rising sun globally. The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign encourages people to hoist the Tricolour at home and share photos online. Additionally, the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram will be celebrated with collective singing at patriotic cultural programs.
The annual Bharat Ko Janiye quiz will test the knowledge of Indians about India, with participants from the UAE receiving prizes. The missions have launched the #MyIndiaMyStory campaign, inviting expats to share their memorable experiences of India through 30-second reels on Instagram.
