About Hum Sub
Who we are
Hum Sub is a non-profit organization dedicated to share the social and cultural traditions of India with residents of the North Carolina Triangle area and beyond. Membership and participation is open to all people who are interested in promoting and/or appreciating Indian culture and history.
Since its inception, Hum Sub's primary focus has been to promote, support and organize family-oriented cultural activities to help build a stronger foundation for the youth in our community. We rely entirely on community support and local business sponsorships to make our programs and events possible.

Our Mission
Hum Sub's mission is to spread awareness of the social and cultural traditions of India in the Triangle area and beyond. We do so by promoting, supporting and organizing family-oriented events throughout the year that generate greater cultural awareness to build a foundation of inclusivity, harmony and appreciation of the value of diversity amongst our citizenry.
How it all began
The Hindi phrase "Hum Sub" means "All of us." Hum Sub, Inc. was founded in 2001 by a group of Indian Americans living in the Triangle area of NC, to address the growing need to share India's diverse and colorful cultural heritage with the local community at large.

After their first successful sold-out event, Basant Bahar, the group approached the Town of Cary with the idea of a public partnership. The first Cary Diwali was held with a record crowd of over 2500 people. Since then, both Basant Bahar and Cary Diwali have grown into signature Triangle events. Hum Sub Diwali is now the biggest free-to-attend event of its kind in the southeastern United States.
