As always as far as possible they get together on the 12th of March to celebrate Independence Day of Mauritius. This year to mark the 40th anniversary a special effort by members of the Benevolent Society of Mauritians in Scotland (BSMS) founded some 25 years ago was given a special boost and support by a well-known Mauritian businessman, Mr Dev Fowdar. He sponsored practically every thing needed to celebrate this occasion. Carmichael Hall in Giffnock, Glasgow was booked for the occasion and special guest singers and musicians (Sona Noyan & Co) from Mauritius were flown to Scotland at his own expenses. ]]> no@spam.com (Dr David Lingiah) http://www.mauritiustoday.com/news/articles/32391/1/Scotland-Celebrates-Mauritius-40th-Independence-Day/Page1.html http://www.mauritiustoday.com/news/articles/26927/1/Interview-by-Professor-David-B-Lingiah/Page1.html no@spam.com (Dr David Lingiah) http://www.mauritiustoday.com/news/articles/26927/1/Interview-by-Professor-David-B-Lingiah/Page1.html
