Asserting that Indian culture is earning glory around the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday cited a host of developments to highlight increasing acceptance abroad of practices and products linked to the country.
In his monthly Mann Ki Baat, Modi played a clip of a Hindi programme broadcast on Kuwait Radio. “The Kuwait government has started a special programme on its national radio. And that too in Hindi. It is broadcast every Sunday for half an hour on Kuwait Radio. It includes myriad shades of Indian culture. Our films and discussions related to the art world are very popular among the Indian community there,” he said.
He added that the local population in Kuwait was also taking a lot of interest and thanked its government and people for taking this “wonderful initiative”.
“Which Indian will not be happy with the way our culture is earning glory all over the world today! For example, in Turkmenistan, the 300th birth anniversary of its national poet was celebrated in May this year. On this occasion, the president of Turkmenistan unveiled the statues of 24 famous poets of the world. One of these statues is also that of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore,” Modi said.
This is an honour for Gurudev and an honour for India, he added.
Similarly, in June, two Caribbean countries -- Suriname and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines -- celebrated their Indian heritage with full zeal and enthusiasm, Modi said.
