New Delhi:
Afghan students in India and popular Afghan restaurants in south
Delhi - these are only few examples of the thriving diaspora from
the war-ravaged country, who have made a second home in the South
Asian giant.
These were part of a film showcasing the common links between the
two countries, “Humsaye - Two Nations, Two Neighbours” which
premiered here Saturday night.
The 25-minute film, directed by Aparna Srivastava Reddy, had been
commissioned by the ministry of external affairs’ public diplomacy
division.
“The scenes of this documentary evoke vivid memories,” said MEA’s
additional secretary, Jayant Prasad, whose previous posting was as
Indian envoy to Afghanistan.
The Afghan envoy to India, Nanguyalai Tarzi, also commended the
film for showing how the Afghan community has integrated into
Indian society.
