Dear Readers,

On this auspicious day of celebrating the constitutional India, IndiansinKuwait.com would like to extend its warm greetings and wish all Readers a Happy Republic Day.

It gives me great pleasure in releasing yet another edition of our special supplement titled “Maa Tujhe Salaam" to mark India's Republic Day. I am very much thankful to all our readers, who stood with us throughout our journey to make us the number one online portal in Kuwait. Like in previous years, this year too we are here with a special supplement full of articles written by our special readers, expressing their salutation to their motherland!

I was overwhelmed by the response that we received from our readers, especially from the Students and IIK Young Reporters in making this supplement possible. The pandemic has brought out so much creativity and talent among the Kids that we could see it in the contributions made for the supplement and IIK appreciates each and every contributor. Kudos to the Kids.

Last two years have changed our lives dramatically due to the coronavirus pandemic.We look forward to a better year 2022 with the vaccination and booster doses. As the prevailing situation prevents us from large gatherings, this year also let us salute all the 'Corona warriors' across the globe. It is a new way of life. We have to live with it responsibly. Let us take all the possible steps to turn this crisis into an opportunity.

This year again, our thanks to Al Muzaini Exchange company for sponsoring the Republic Day Quiz, where our readers get a chance to win exciting prizes! The Quiz is available on IIK Facebook page.

I take this opportunity to thank His Excellency Mr. Sibi George (Ambassador of India, Kuwait) and all the officers and staff in Indian Embassy Kuwait for the support and encouragement they are extending to the Indian community in Kuwait.

We are equally grateful to our advertisers for their immense support. My sincere thanks to Mr. Surya Prakash for his stupendous support towards IIK. Kudos to the IIK team for working diligently and getting this supplement out on time. A special thanks to our marketing associates M/s Lemonade International whose support to IIK is invaluable.

I want to thank all the contributors and our readers from the bottom of my heart. This supplement would naturally be nothing without the effort that many people make to gather information, stories and pictures. An extra effort was made, and I can't say how much I appreciate this. This supplement has been a pleasure to put together, and that is purely thanks to you all!

Jai Hind, Happy Republic Day!!
