​The night will include artistic performances, dancers, musicians, and speeches by invited guests and dignitaries. A number of students will also be presenting essays on what the famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” means to them.
 
“I think it is wonderful that we have the chance to host an event such as this. We can all take Mahatma Gandhi’s message to heart and try to work toward a more peaceful society.”
 
Mahatma Gandhi became famous for leading non-violent protests against British colonial rule in India and ultimately helped secure the nation’s independence. His example has inspired civil rights activists across the world for generations and continues to serve as a guide for all those seeking freedom and peace.
 
Rep. Lancia will be participating in the night’s festivities and will also present the newly elected President and Vice President of the India Association of Rhode Island on the floor of the State House of Representatives during the legislative session.

About rhode island house republicans


In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders.  As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
