THE
CHAIRMAN/FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
With
great pride and pleasure, I welcome you to our website. As you may be
aware, we are pioneer in organizing Indian pageants and fashion shows
in the USA and other parts of the world, of which the Miss India WorldwidE
has been acclaimed as the “most glamorous Indian function in the world.”
And, of course, the Miss India WorldwidE is the only international Indian
pageant.
When
Miss India New York started in 1980, I had perhaps not even in my wildest
dreams imagined that in less than twenty years, we would fledge out
to be a mass movement with affiliates in over 30 countries, let alone
that we would one day have a live internet webcast and broadcast our
most prestigious function, the Miss India WorldwidE, to an audience
of over 300 million people!
We
are very proud of the fact that we have been able to provide a common
platform for the international Indian community through pageantry. We
are equally proud of the fact that we have been able to imbibe Indian
values, traditions and culture among the youth of Indian origin around
the world. We have also been successful in promoting Indian performing
arts in the world.
Quite
apart from being functions of great social and cultural value, our pageants
fulfill the underlying purpose of raising funds for charitable causes.
The poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “to know that one life has breathed
easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded.” In this spirit,
we have encouraged, motivated, and guided our winners in taking up charitable
causes.
I
sincerely hope that our website will provide all information regarding
Indian pageants in the world. We plan to include many more channels,
especially of interest to the youth, and believe that the website will
become one stop website for Indian
youths around the world.
With
Best Wishes,
Dharmatma
