India
Fest 2012
Date:
May 5, 2012 Time: 12PM to 5PM
Venue: Winston Square at Downtown Winston-Salem
In May 2006 the IUCA embraced Winston
Salem's Mayor’s vision in promoting Winston-Salem as a cosmopolitan city -- a great
place to live -- by hosting the very first “Utsava” (उत्सव - meaning
festival in Sanskrit) at the Sawtooth building in downtown Winston-Salem. “Utsava”
featured participation from people of all ages and included some stellar dance and
musical performances from members of the triad community. The event featured many
vendors of artifacts from India and some restaurants selling Indian food.
Using the Sawtooth Center
and downtown Winston-Salem as the venue also highlights the increasingly vibrant
downtown area of Winston-Salem. In a global context, the Indian Diaspora covers
practically every part of the world. It numbers more than a million each in eleven
countries making the Diaspora very special. Residing in distant lands, its members
have succeeded spectacularly in their chosen professions by dint of their single-minded
dedication and hard work. For instance right here in the Triad, and over the last
four years, the Indian-American community has grown exponentially from a modest
500 families to over 1200 families and comprise of a combination of doctors, engineers,
researchers, university professors and administrators, bankers and information technology
professionals.
