The Indo-American Community of USA (IACU) announced that over 24,000 Indian Americans have signed up to attend Modi&US. This will be a community gathering with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event will take place at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Registrations for the event have come through 590 community organizations. They have all signed up as Welcome Partners, from across the United States. Indian Americans from at least 42 states are expected to attend this event. The response to this has been particularly strong in the tri-state area.
The organizers have promised that this will be 'a significant gathering celebrating the interconnected diversity of the Indian American community.'
They said, "Attendees and participating organizations will include a wide range of religious communities, including members of the Jewish, Zoroastrian, Jain, Christian, Sikh, Muslim, and Hindu communities. They also represent a significant cross-section of India’s diverse languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, Malayalam, Gujarati, and others. In addition to remarks by Prime Minister Modi, the event will showcase cultural performances and appearances by prominent Indian Americans in business, science, entertainment, and the arts."
"We’re committed to ensuring as many people as possible can participate in this historic event," said a key organizer of the event. "We’re going to do our best to expand seating arrangements and coordinate with our Welcome Partners to prioritize final seat allocations to those who will confirm they expect to attend."
