Mr. Speaker. I rise to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Indias independence. On August 15. 1997. India. the worlds largest democracy celebrated 50 years of freedom from British rule. Today. Indian emigrants share their culture. diversity. religions. and languages with people throughout the United States. Last week on the floor of this House of Representatives. some Members attempted to perform a great disservice to the proud and distinguished Indian people who have worked so hard to instill democracy in their country. Mr. Speaker. the road to democracy in India has not been an easy one to navigate. Indias first 50 years of independence have been filled with numerous challenges to the nations sovereignty.
