Today, those in the East Indian community among us can stand proud of all that they have achieved and contributed to our country, given the rigours and hardships under which their forebears came here 167 years ago.
Our food, music, language, festivals, and economic activity, are all the richer due to the contributions of our East Indian brothers and sisters.
Of course, many of our ancestors came here under similar circumstances, and so each segment of our community has reason to notably mark their respective presence in our country today.
However, what is good and should be encouraged among us, is that we share and thrive in celebrating each other, knowing that through our diversity we can derive greater strength and beauty. So I ask that all of Trinidad and Tobago join with me as we celebrate on this occasion.
Let us remember to be always thankful for each other and for the blessings we receive despite whatever challenges come our way. Life is not always easy but if we all would only choose to live and love as brothers and sisters, the paths we each travel would be made much easier.
Happy Indian Arrival Day to ALL.
