Diwali
Happy DIWALI wishes to you and your Family in advance!

BRIC was formed a year back with a vision of bringing the diaspora together, celebrating Indian culture and traditions, as well as coming together to give back to the community that has enriched our lives.

For the last few years the Indian community of Basking Ridge has been involved in an effort to seek Diwali as a holiday, in our school district. The Indian American population in our town is significant in number and growing. South Brunswick and Princeton Township already recognize Diwali as a holiday and sustained efforts are ongoing in many other towns across New Jersey.

It will be a matter of such Pride and Joy for our children and our community to have a day off for Diwali and celebrate with family and friends, without worrying about missing school and making up homework. More importantly, our children will feel that their culture is valued and recognized, giving them a deep sense of belonging.

The first and important step in moving forward for this effort is to show support and commitment of the entire Basking Ridge Indian community. To this end we
urge all Indian kids to take the day off from School on Diwali day (Thursday, October 19th), and celebrate the day with the community..
The last week day we celebrated Diwali (2015), 180 kids took the day off from school.

Parents can re-inforce this by also taking the day off from work and join the Diwali Community Celebrations as a Family. ALL ARE WELCOME…
