Today, 15th August, is Indian Independence Day, granted in 1947. An opportunity then to use this photo of the entrance to the Bank of India on Newton St. There are a multitude of Indian connections in Manchester, from road names such as Bombay St and buildings like India House. Plus a long established Indian community and, of course, the many colourful sari shops and huge range of curry houses we all enjoy.
Curry, the UKs national dish!
ReplyDeleteBack in my days as a journalist in the South Midlands I always had an invitation to the Independence Day celebrations. Best food ever!
ReplyDeleteInteresting logo with its references to empire - Britannia in a sari!
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact. I am surprised we don't hear more about it here in Canada as we are also a Commonwealth country and there are lots of INdians here. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteThe joys of a big city - nary a currey house or a sari shop within miles of us here.
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like that star. I absolutely love eating delicious Indian food while in the UK, you guys are lucky!
