From autorickshaw rides to Bollywood, US diplomats share what they love about India

From Bollywood to the autorickshaw rides that make it “fun” for the officials to commute around the National Capital, US diplomats share a range of things they “love about Incredible India.” In the celebration of India’s 75th Independence Day, the official Twitter account of US Embassy India shared a short clip that shows different diplomats expressing what they truly treasure about our country. While one of them can be seen relishing ‘Chai & Samosa’, another one reveals that it is the culture and the fashion of the country which attracts them. The background music is of song ‘Sare Jahan Se Achha’
Originally performed by Asha Bhosle. 

The clip also included a video message from the US Ambassador in India, Atul Kashyap. He said, “New York to New Delhi, Atlanta to Ahemdabad, today we join you in celebrating the dynamism of Incredible India and the warm ties between our two great democracies that form the backbone of the US-india friendship. Happy Independence Day, India.” Kashyap also folds his hands for Namastay to conclude his message.
