Mother’s Day 2024: Quotes and wishes for the incredible moms of India

With Mother's Day 2024 approaching this Sunday (May 12), it's time to honour and celebrate the remarkable women who have played an indispensable role in shaping our lives. The roots of this contemporary Mother's Day can be traced back to the tireless efforts of Anna Jarvis, an American woman, who advocated for an official day dedicated to honouring mothers during the early 20th century.

During the Civil War era in the US, Anna Jarvis's mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, founded "Mother's Day Work Clubs" to bolster public health and foster unity among mothers. After Ann's death in 1905, Anna campaigned vigorously for a national day honouring mothers, ultimately leading to President Woodrow Wilson proclaiming the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day in 1914.

In India, where mothers are revered as embodiments of love, sacrifice and strength, expressing gratitude and affection on this special day holds immense significance.

To help you convey your heartfelt emotions, here are some Indian quotes and wishes to make your mother feel cherished and appreciated.
