N.W WASHINGTON. D.C. 20008 April 4, 2011. Meera Shankar Ambassador of India The ‘maximum lNDlA’ festival hosted by the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in cooperation with the Indian Council of Cultural Relations and the Embassy from March 1-20, 2011 was a resounding success. As a co-sponsor of the festival, the Embassy was proud to be associated with ‘maximum lNDIA’. A festival of this magnitude to present India’s arts and culture in the U.S. was held after a gap of twenty five years. Our American friends were able to see and experience the rich diversity of art and culture from different parts of India under one roof — Indian dance, music, theatre, crafts, cuisine, literature and cinema. The milling crowds and sold out performances were a testimony to the tremendous interest and goodwill that Indian culture enjoys in the United States. ‘maximum INDlA’ also served as a unique opportunity for the people of India and the United States to rejoice in the steadily strengthening partnership between our two great democracies. I would like to congratulate Chairman David Rubenstein, President Michael Kaiser, Vice-President Alicia Adams and their entire team at the Kennedy Centre for their flawless execution of this large-scale project.
