Culture keeps India Argentina relations lively

 India has its roots drawn back to culture and civilization which is often termed as one of the major differentiators of Indians amongst world nations. With time and technological advancements India could preserve many of these cultural values in order to stand unique, yet successful in the world affairs. India has been maintaining very cordial relationship with Argentina government for many years since independence. These two nations enjoy great deal of friendship and camaraderie in complementing each other supporting some of the most demanding causes in the global platform.

The Indian leadership represented by the Ministry of External Affairs keeps things in a very diplomatic manner even as they exchange cultural values while they promote trade and commerce with great sense of responsibility and cooperation. It’s important and imperative that we enjoy such cordial relations with some of these non controversial nations when it comes to trade, polity and foreign policy. Argentine with its not so complicated foreign policy could find its way much easier to friendship with India, which is now emerging as one of the most powerful global economies.

The Indian Embassy based at Buenos Aires has been very successful in organizing cultural programs and Indian artists visiting Argentina makes the relationship more warmth. Argentine have always shown high regard for Indian culture and civilization.

Yoga could become popular with many spiritual leaders promoting its essence through the Embassy. Hundreds of Yoga centers found their way to Argentina. We even find many natives performing and teaching Indian dance and music. The Indian cinema has become equally popular and thanks to the Indian Embassy which takes all such initiatives time and again. Culture surely has a very significant role to play in establishing mutual relationship amongst nations. Especially when we recognize and identify with the cultural sentiments of our fellow nations, we expect camaraderie, that’s exactly the Ministry of External Affairs was successful in achieving when it comes to Argentine affairs.

Indian Embassy also took keen interest and initiative in organizing festivals since 2008 for which Argentina and neighboring countries are popularly known for. These festivals showcase Indian culture by means of exhibiting masterpieces of Indian art such as handicraft designs and products which are very popular all over the world. These are the festivals which also present rich Indian portrays like folk dance, light music and film festivals. It’s no exaggeration that the latest festival organized by the India Embassy attracted over 80,000 visitors which is a spectacular witness to the cultural ties promoted by the Indian External Affairs.

Such involvement of Indian literal and cultural richness could be dated back to             Rabindra Nath Tagore’s times when the literary legend visited Argentina way back in 1924. He was hosted by the popular Victoria Ocampo of Argentina. Victoria Ocampo was given an honorary

Doctorate by the Viswa Bharati University and this was handed over by Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi during her visit to Argentina in 1968. All such events still remain versatile and lets any government to enjoy cordial relationships with Argentine leadership time to time.

Let’s have open Discussion on this Indian IT A

  The first ever documented facts on freedom of speech were way back in 399BC when Socrates speaks to jury at his trial: ‘If you offered to let me off this time on condition I am not any longer to speak my mind… I should say to you, “Men of Athens, I shall obey the Gods rather than you.”‘ Cut two, 2015: Supreme Court struck down Article 66A and the freedom of speech and expressions prevails. Will it happen? Not until we decide to take care of the following: Awareness of rights and responsibilities We all know that the rights and responsibilities are the two sides of the same coin. Before demanding for your rights as the citizens of a country, one must abide by the rules too. While the article 19(1)(a) does gives us the right to freedom of speech and expression, it also has the conditional clause of “reasonable restrictions” under Article 19(2) of the Constitution of India, on the exercise of the right to freedom of speech and expression on the following grounds: • Security of State • F

Let’s all be human first and not men and women !

  “Women Empowerment”, the very topic has been discussed so much in almost every forum and every possible live event that it seems a challenge to write something new and relevant on it.Hence, it’s human empowerment for me. Surprisingly, as per Old English Etymology, the word “man” means “a thinker” or “to have a cognitive mind” and it was used with no reference to gender, i.e., for male and female both. As the civilizations changed, the meaning changed too and today we use men and women, male and female etc. to categorize the humans. It is important for me to refer to these details because the premises on which I am proposing the ideas of women empowerment solely lies on it. What do we have achieved so far? After 68 years of independence, we do have the framework and constitutional rights in place for women to ensure the upliftment and better life for them. The only place we lack is the implementation of the same to every nook and corner of India. The challenge also lies in being the l

Tapping the potential of Indian Youth

  Youth! The UN, for statistical consistency across regions, defines ‘youth’, as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years, without prejudice to other definitions by Member States. With 28% of population of India in the age category of 10-24 years, we need to take the risk now or never. As quoted by Swami Vivekananda “Take risks in life, if you win, you can lead! If you lose, you can guide!” Whether we become the leader or a follower is secondary, at least we all will have something to do in life. Easier said than done? May be any of these clicks for us: Start Early When our young gen can handle mobiles, computers, video games and what not; they can learn other skills too during their academic years. The only requirement is to tweak the curriculum and make it more vocation based. Readers from 80’s and 90’s can easily recall the SUPW classes in their school. They learnt vocational skills like candle making, carpentry, embroidery etc. Today, it’s not only essential to make them i
