California state Assemblyman Tony Mendoza and other state assembly members honored India’s Republic Day here Jan. 26 (I-W, Feb. 3) and discussed ACR 85, a measure which observes Jan. 26 as India Republic Day. “Today’s vote acknowledges this important historical event and recognizes the contributions Indo-Americans have made in California,” said Mendoza.
“ACR 85 reminds us of the foundation of any nation, our state and its people. It allows us to reflect on the many achievements of the large Indo-American population and communities here in California and our country,” he added.
