Imagine our surprise when, after dinner, we were strolling through one of the wide-open University of Delaware quads and saw a display of 1,947 little Indian flags stuck into the grass. Turns out Aug. 15, 1947, was the day that India gained its independence from Great Britain.
I snapped a photo and forwarded it to my colleagues in Mumbai and Chennai; they were thrilled to see that the holiday is recognized here in the States.
"This gave me goosebumps!" replied one.
