The Indian community in the Eastern China Region gathered on Sunday in large numbers to celebrate the 164th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore and the 101st anniversary of his first visit to China.

Consul General to China, Pratik Mathur, spoke of the abiding relevance of Tagore’s words and vision. The vibrant cultural event also served as a moment of solemn tribute to the victims of the recent Pahalgam terror attack. 

Held at the Vivekananda Cultural Centre, the celebration brought together over a hundred attendees, including members of the Indian diaspora, Chinese students, Tagore enthusiasts, and other “friends of India.”
