Proud to be an Indian! Jai Ho!

From: peter ferns 12 September 2012


GREAT STATISTICS...... DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOT WITNESSED ANYWHERE.....IN THIS WORLD
THIS IS INDIA
How cosmopolitan and secular is the world's largest democracy?
When Pranab Mukherjee was sworn in as the President of India in July 2012,

the world witnessed
a Parsi Chief Justice Kapadia

swear in a Brahmin President Mukherjee,
with a Muslim Vice President Hamid Ansari,
a Sikh Prime Minister Manmohan Singh,
an Italian-born Catholic chairman of the ruling party Sonia Gandhi,
a Dalit Speaker of the Parliament Meira Kumar attending the ceremony.
a Sikh Chief of the Indian Army  General Bikram Singh,
an Anglo Indian from Allahabad - Chief of Air Force Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne - whose son Omar is also an ace fighter pilot of the Indian Air Force.
Wonder which other country on this globe has a similar record? I can't think of any. 
Proud to be Indian!
