The event commenced with the Ambassador of India eloquently highlighting the profound historical and emotional significance of this powerful hymn. A key part of the program was the sharing of excerpts from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's impactful address delivered at the main event in Delhi, connecting our local celebration with the nationwide tribute. The atmosphere reached a crescendo with the enthusiastic group singing of Vande Mataram by the assembled members of the Indian community and friends of India, followed by a truly moving rendition of the song performed specially by our talented Hungarian friends.
