Always wondered how Rabindranath Tagore, who never visited Spain, and went to Latin America only once, is so popular in the Spanish world and has influenced so many Spanish poets and thinkers. @iccr_hq @MEAIndia @EmbEspIndia @Spain_India @M_Lekhi

🗣️ @DineshKPatnaik , @IndiainSpain : «Durante mucho tiempo me he planteado por qué era Tagore tan popular en el 🌏 hispanohablante, incluso influyó a una generación de poetas en lengua española, así que estoy muy emocionado hoy de profundizar sobre estas cuestiones que nos unen».

I have always tried to reach for the moon. I waited many moons. And now, I am over the moon. Specially as we landed on the dark side. This happens once in a blue moon. I never promise the moon but this I promise. India has reached and will go beyond the moon. #Chandrayaan3

Nunca pensé que el Yoga fuera tan popular en #Espa ña. Durante el último mes, miles de españoles en 23 ciudades han estado celebrando #IDY2022 con entusiasmo. Más de 5 millones de españoles (20% de población) practican yoga. Qué gran testimonio de nuestras relaciones bilaterales

Keshavananda Bharati, all law students and UPSC aspirants know his case. Basic Structure doctrine. I did not know he was a seer at Edneer mutt. He lost his land but helped protect, indirectly, the supremacy of The Constitution of India. The world moves in mysterious ways. 🙏

inaugurated by PM Vajpayee in 1998, #SVCC Colombo is a testimony to strong Indo-Sri Lankan cultural and heritage linkages. SVCC continues to strengthen and nurture our rich shared legacies. I wish SVCC the very best and look forward to greater cultural & academic exchanges.
