This event has also been held very successfully for the past few years with participation of hundreds of Indians.  I wish all Indians in UAE a very happy festival season and encourage them to participate in the festivities with great enthusiasm.  This year’s festivities also assume importance as we are observing 100 years of Sheikh Zayed  and 150 years of Gandhiji. Both these leaders have taught how humanity should work together and live in peace, harmony and tolerance.”
