Russian House in Kolkata, Gorky Sadan

🇮🇳 On August 15, the Republic of India marks #IndependenceDay. #OTD in 1947 the Indian Independence Act came into being, crowning the decades of the Indian people’s hard struggle against the oppression of the British colonisers for the right to determine their own destiny.

Over the years of independence, the Indian nation has reached significant success in the economic, scientific, technical and social areas, preserving its strong identity based on the centuries-long history and rich cultural heritage.

India enjoys well-deserved authority in the world arena, playing a major constructive role in international affairs.

🤝 Diplomatic relations between our country and India were established on April 13, 1947. The USSR made a significant contribution to the industrialisation of India as well as to the development of its economic and scientific potential.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 The friendly Russian-Indian ties are based on equality, mutual respect and trust. Today, our relations can be defined as a special and privileged strategic partnership. We maintain an intensive political dialogue, and take efforts to strengthen cooperation within multilateral formats and improve trade, economic, investment, scientific, technical, cultural and humanitarian cooperation.

🎉 We cordially congratulate our Indian friends on Independence Day and wish them prosperity and well-being.
