Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 15, 2025, as Indian Independence Day in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution (not a binding bill) requesting Governor Hochul to officially recognize August 15, 2025, as "Indian Independence Day" in New York State. It asks the Governor to issue a proclamation commemorating India's independence from British rule on August 15, 1947, aligning with New York's longstanding traditions of celebrating Indian culture and acknowledging the contributions of the state's large Indian American community. The resolution has no legal effect and serves solely to honor cultural ties and historical significance.
