"I
believe
India's
story
should
be
celebrated
everywhere,
and
the
journey
of
NRI
citizenry
is
nothing
short
of
incredible.
The
most
successful
community
of
expatriates
anywhere,
I
treasure
this
opportunity
to
celebrate
our
independence
in
such
a
festive
manner
in
New
York," she
said
in
a
statement.
The
