On Friday, the Indian Tricolor was seen flies high outside the White House in Washington, D.C., prior to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the United States.
A New Jersey-based Indian national, Jesal Nar, said of the Indian flag flying outside the White House, “It’s a great honor and source of pride to see the tricolor. I travel throughout the United States for business while carrying a tricolor.”
