New York, 17th August: The India day parade on Madison Avenue was made memorable with the turn out of thousands of people to view the 56th Independence Day celebrations organized by the Federation of India Associations (FIA), an organization of Indian Associations from the New York tri-state area, comprising New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

The Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, India's Ambassador to the United Nations, Vijay Nambiar, India's Ambassador-at-Large Dr. Bhishma Agnihotri, and India's Consul General in New York, Pramathesh Rath, Air India's Regional Director, Seema Andhare and Indian actress Sonali Bendre were among the dignitaries who graced the occasion.

Colourful and attractive floats exhibiting both India's rich and diverse traditions as well as India's economic growth were the highlight of the parade. On a beautifully decorated and eye catching float, BharatMatrimony.com exhibited its unique service of uniting Indians from different parts of the world into the holy knot of "Matrimony". Indians from various communities settled in the US were seen on the float and this truly marked the spirit of patriotism. The greatness of India is its Unity in Diversity and BharatMatrimony.com is an umbrella for people from all these diversities to meet their life partners through a consortium of 14 linguistic regional portals having a broad based national outlook.
