August 15th holds a special place in the hearts of Indians living in the UAE, as they come together to celebrate India’s 76th Independence Day. With a remarkable population of around 3.86 million Indians, Indians constitute the largest expat community in the UAE, turning the nation into a second home that is bursting with patriotism and unity.

This auspicious day is commemorated with a range of events that underscore the strong ties between the two countries

From solemn flag hoisting ceremonies at the Indian consulate to the grandeur of the Burj Khalifa illuminated in the vibrant hues of India’s tricolour – saffron, white, and green – the UAE becomes a canvas of national pride.

The significance of the occasion is further underlined by the Indian flag being raised at the country’s embassy in Abu Dhabi and the consulate general in Dubai, symbolizing the shared history and values between India and the UAE.
