The India Association of Minnesota (IAM) just turned 50 and we celebrated in style! On April 15, 2023, at the luxurious DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Bloomington, we had a night filled with mouth-watering food, heart-pumping fun, and an electrifying atmosphere as we commemorated 50 years of remarkable history and vibrant culture. Ever since IAM was established in 1973, we have been devoted to bringing together people of Indian descent in Minnesota and creating a strong sense of community and identity. As an umbrella organization, we have connected Indians and Indian organizations across the state, and our 50th anniversary event was the perfect occasion to celebrate all the treasured memories we have made along the way. But we’re not done yet! We’re excited to keep our mission of promoting inclusivity and diversity going strong as we look towards the future.
