FLP Secretary-General, Mahendra Chaudhry, was in India to receive attend a ceremony for receiving the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award.  He was one of 12 award winners announced in January, but was unable to attend the ceremony at the time.

He received the award at a small ceremony in New Delhi, this week.  The award is given annually to Indians abroad who have in some way, helped foster a better understanding of India.

Bestowing the award upon Mr. Chaudhry, represents growing recognition in India of the plight of its citizens abroad and their on-going struggle for equal-rights in their new homelands.
