The Embassy of India in Israel has recently opened a vibrant section called ‘Bharat Corner’ at the Ironi Yud Dalet High School Library in Tel Aviv. This initiative aims to strengthen the connection between Israeli youth and India.
On social media, the Embassy highlighted this new space, emphasizing its role in fostering understanding and appreciation of Indian culture among young people. The launch coincides with Mahatma Gandhi’s upcoming birthday, and a lecture was held to discuss his values and their relevance today. Dr. Lauren Dagen spoke about how Gandhi’s philosophy can still inspire us in modern times.
India and Israel enjoy a warm relationship that goes back thousands of years. The Ministry of External Affairs has mentioned that this bond was shaped over two millennia, with Jews finding a welcoming home in India for centuries. Their presence has enriched Indian culture, showing how interconnected our histories are.
Cultural exchanges between the two nations cover various art forms and traditions. Yoga and Ayurveda, in particular, have gained immense popularity in Israel. The International Day of Yoga is celebrated there with great enthusiasm, attracting many participants each year.
In January 2020, the Indian Cultural Centre in Tel Aviv opened its doors, further promoting cultural ties through regular events. This ongoing exchange highlights the shared values and rich traditions between the two countries.
Overall, initiatives like the Bharat Corner are more than just cultural displays. They pave the way for deeper connections and understanding, reminding us of our shared history and the potential for future collaboration.
