The Inauguration

The recent tsunami tragedy cast a shadow over the third Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, which was inaugurated in Mumbai on January 7 by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Before the event began delegates observed a minute's silence in memory of those killed in and affected by the December 26 disaster.
