Celebrating 10 years of Hum Sub |
 Ten years ago in 2001, the Triangle based cultural organization Hum Sub was founded by eight local families to foster and celebrate Indian cultural traditions. In that inaugural year Hum Sub organized the first Cary Diwali. The modest event was attended by about 2000 people. Today, Hum Sub has blossomed into a vigorous and dynamic organization and Cary Diwali has become one of the largest events of its kind in the south-east attended by more than 12000 people in 2009. Another annual event organized by Hum Sub, Basant Bahar a celebration of Spring, has also become a Triangle event of great repute.
Despite its young age, Hum Sub has developed into an effective and highly motivated organization with the mission of celebrating the social and cultural traditions on India.
In 2008, Hum Sub’s Cary Diwali was recognized by the State of North Carolina as an “iconic” event of the Town of Cary.
To commemorate the 10th year Anniversary of Hum Sub and Cary Diwali, a month long celebration has been planned leading up to Cary Diwali on October 16th 2010.
