In a celebration for diverse communities across North Texas, the Indian American Muslim Council held its annual convention at the Plano Event Center on Saturday, Oct. 14.

The central theme for the event was a global call to action to uphold democracy and human rights for all. The event saw day-long panel discussions on human rights both in India and in the United States, in addition to a bazaar full of vendors selling a diverse range of products, including books, art, South Asian apparel, children’s toys and more.
