U.S. President Barack Obama has sent his congratulations to all who will celebrate India's 64th Independence Day this weekend saying, Indians around the world can not only look back on their history with pride, but can also look ahead to a future filled with hope and further progress.

Speaking on behalf of his entire administration and the American people, Mr. Obama noted that ever since August 15, 1947, India's non-violent struggle for freedom, its rejection of terrorism and extremism, and its belief in democracy, tolerance, and the rule of law had been an inspiration and beacon of hope for people around the world.
