Day In Fiji
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Aug. 21.
INDIAN Independence Day (August 15) was celebrated by Indians in Fiji with the customary political demon strations, ceremonial hoisting of Indian flags and speech-making.
At one small Viti Levu centre a Gov ernment official, after congratulating the organisers on a spectacular display, ex pressed a mild hope that Fiji s 75th Cession Day in October might produce somewhat similar enthusiasm.
The Fiji Muslim community, which since the establishment of Pakistan has shown an increasing tendency to resent being called “Indian”, commemorated Pakistan Day much more quietly on August 14.
