As Prime Minister Narendra Modi sets down in Brazil for the forthcoming BRICS Summit, India's diaspora community in the South American country is refining a special cultural offering. The show will dedicate itself to Operation Sindoor, the Indian Military, as well as PM Modi himself.
In a moving exhibition of national pride and artistic form, Indian expatriates in Brazil will perform a semi-classical dance inspired by Operation Sindoor—an operation that has become synonymous with courage, commitment, and national morale.
Rekha, a performer participating in the initiative, told IANS about the tribute to come:
"We have choreographed a semi-classical dance for PM Modi. It's based on Operation Sindoor and is a sincere tribute to our war heroes."
Another performer, Sneha, described her own art contribution to the show:
"I'll be including in our performance a painting of Operation Sindoor. As women artists, we also wish to dedicate this to PM Modi, as well as to Vyomika Singh and Sofia Qureshi, who are examples of strength and inspiration."
The buzz about the visit by the Prime Minister is not just among the Indian community. The Brazilian locals are eagerly awaiting his visit as well.
"I am elated that PM Modi is coming. It's an honour for Brazil indeed," commented one local.
Another said,
"This is like a dream come true. We're so fortunate to get this opportunity to meet him — there are no words to describe how proud we are."
Prime Minister Modi will visit the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6 and 7. Post the summit, he will pay a historic visit to Brasilia—the first ever visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Brazil's capital in close to six decades. On his visit, PM Modi will reportedly meet with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and engage with other world leaders during the course.
Brazil forms the fourth stop on PM Modi’s five-nation diplomatic tour. Just before arriving, he was in Trinidad & Tobago, where he addressed the Joint Assembly of Parliament and reinforced India’s “Global South first” approach.
Earlier on the tour, the Prime Minister had visited Ghana. There, he had held one-on-one discussions with President John Dramani Mahama and was conferred the nation's highest civilian honor—The Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana. A series of significant bilateral agreements were also signed to enhance mutual cooperation.
