New York: Marshalled by the Telugu megastar Allu Arjun, world’s biggest Indian parade was held in New York City celebrating India’s 75th anniversary of Independence on Sunday. It is said to be the biggest Indian event that has taken place outside of India. The Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) tri-state area unit, which organised the celebration, claimed that two events at the parade entered the Guinness Book of World Records: The most number of flags flown simultaneously, and the largest ensemble of the damru, the twin-headed drum. The event witnessed an estimated turnout of 150,000 people, both as marchers and as the audience along the route on Madison Avenue.Also Read – US And South Korea Commence Biggest Military Drills In Years Amid North Korean Nuclear Threats

The flags display, in keeping with the theme this year of honouring the Tiranga, the Indian flag, made a show of India’s universality by also including the flags of nations around the world.
