           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims August 15, 2012, as 
          Indias Independence Day, and urges all Californians to join 
          in celebrating Indias independence.  

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following 
          legislative findings: 

          1. One of the most important national holidays in India, 
             India's Independence Day is celebrated on August 15 of 
             each year to commemorate its independence; and 
             California is home to the largest population of Asian 
             Indians in the United States. 

          2. As the day began on August 15, 1947, at the stroke of 
             midnight, the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal 
             Nehru, gave his famous Tryst with Destiny speech 
             proclaiming Indian's independence which was celebrated 
             by 400 million Indians; and today, Indias Independence 
             Day is celebrated by a billion people living in India
