I think it's great that they want to celebrate Indian Independence Day on August 15, 2025. It's important to recognize the relationship between the United States and India as the world's two largest democracies. I'm not sure about all the details of this bill, but it seems like a positive step towards promoting unity and friendship between our countries. #IndianIndependenceDay #DemocracyCelebration 🇮🇳🇺🇸
