When is mauritius independence day

The warm and inviting nation, the colourful cultural kaleidoscope. The way in which the nation is so diverse and expressive! The Culture of Mauritius is simply… beautiful. At a time when things are so uncertain, we need to reflect on the beauty of Mauritius and why we love our country so much.

In light of celebrating Independence Day Mauritius this year, although it is a very different and non-physical celebration, basing it on past and present themes we asked Mauritian national Kerishnie Rajcomar to tell us more about why she loves Mauritius.

If you ask me why I love my country, I might list those typical answers but my small island, insignificant on the world map, is so much more…. I was born and raised in Beau-Bassin, one of the cities of Mauritius. I have been enjoying the long summers and short winters, swimming in the clear waters of the most popular beaches of the island and savouring the famous street food for as long as I can remember.

As a teenager, I always took for granted the rich heritage and culture of the island, with the idea that the grass is greener elsewhere. Mauritius is the only country where you can find the whole world in one place! A unique mosaic of cultures and ethnicities. Indeed, I find it awe-inspiring that Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Tamils, Atheists and Buddhists have been able to coexist in social harmony for years in an era where cultural segregation thrives.

And that is one of the reasons why I love my country. Mauritius is the sole place where, regardless of your religion and ethnicity, you celebrate Holi, the festival of colours; Christmas, the birth of Christ; Diwali, the festival of lights; Eid ul-Fitr, the festival of breaking the fast; Easter, the resurrection of Jesus, among the many other festivals. In fact, Mauritians are renowned for exalting the universal message of peace, love, inclusion and harmony. Read more Accept X.
