Happy Indian Independence Day!

I have a complex relationship with the land my family came from, India and Pakistan. They were kidnapped, sentenced to indentureship (a nicer way of putting slavery) and taken to a new one, where they made a new culture and a new tongue. The land they left was freed, becoming two countries at first. Although there is the dilemma of one people with many tongues and many creeds living in the two nations, they are free from their coloniser. My culture is Caribbean, my language is Caribbean and my heart is Caribbean; however, that means that you’ll find the flavours of the land my family left in my culture. You’ll find the same creeds, you’ll find the same textiles and patterns, you’ll find bits of pieces of the same tongues. You’ll find bits and pieces of the same India and Pakistan in my Caribbean. Happy Independence Day India and Pakistan! #JASHANEAZADI #AZADIDIN 🇮🇳 🇵🇰 #IndiaIndependenceDay #PakistanIndependenceDay ・・・ Story behind this one: I was supposed to serve Katrina Kaif, chikni chameli realness, but then I got a concussion... so I brought homegirl Kajol instead in a calm manner (yes, my physical health matters!) and reclaimed White queer spaces for QPOC by blessing them all with Lata Mangeshkar! #Gaysi #gaysian #gayindian #gaypakistani #gayguyanese #gayitaliano #gaymuslim #muslimdragqueen #desidragqueen #guyanesedragqueen #caribbeandragqueen #desigirl #cooliegyal #ragazzaitaliana #dragqueen #nycdragqueen #curryscentedfaggot #haramqueen #modella #model #qpoc #nonbinarydragqueen #queerdesi #queersouthasian #instadrag

Watching the evening runway lights from the airport window made me think about how many people travel from the USA and Canada to India around India Independence Day each year. The small Indian flag beside a passport and boarding pass felt less like a travel advertisement and more like a reminder of home, family, and familiar celebrations waiting on the other side of the journey. If you're planning India Independence Day travel from the USA or Canada, these flights are often about reconnecting with loved ones and experiencing the spirit of 15th August in India after spending time abroad. Sometimes the quiet moments before boarding are what make the journey feel truly meaningful.
