New Delhi, Oct 2 (IANS) 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.
