India Independence Day is celebrated annually on the 15 August which marks India's independence from the United Kingdom in 1947. In the spirit of this day, UCT Libraries would like to share our own India Corner, generously donated by the Indian Consulate in Cape Town.

In April 2019, UCT Libraries received a generous gift donation of Indian books from the Indian Consulate in Cape Town.
