'Emotions expressed exactly what was in my heart': Modi on students reciting his poems in Tashkent

Students recited three Modi poems in Hindi and Uzbek, highlighting growing interest in Indian culture and drawing an enthusiastic response, officials said.

  • On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, where Uzbek students recited his poems, including "Abhi Toh Suraj Uga Hai," in both Hindi and Uzbek. The performances highlighted the growing cultural bond between India and Uzbekistan.
  • Modi's two-day state visit, concluding Sunday, elevated India-Uzbekistan relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The trip featured extensive cultural exchanges including music and poetry, reflecting the growing scope of bilateral engagement between the two nations.
  • At the Mahatma Gandhi Centre, Modi praised the "growing interest in Tamil culture." He proposed translating the Tirukkural, a masterpiece by poet-philosopher Thiruvalluvar composed between the 2nd century BCE and the 5th century CE, to deepen appreciation of Indian philosophical thought.
