PM Kamla quoted this poem from a book written by Modi. It was not just a poetry reading, but also a symbol of a special bond and cultural understanding between the two heads of state. Not only this, food was served on a sohari leaf. It holds great cultural significance for the people of Trinidad and Tobago, especially those of Indian origin. Food is often served on this leaf during festivals and other special occasions.
On the other hand, it is noteworthy that about 40 percent of the population of Trinidad and Tobago is of Indian origin. About 5.56 lakh people of Indian origin live here. PM Kamla Persad Bisessar is herself a leader of Indian origin. Her ancestors are from Buxar district of Bihar . Recalling this, Prime Minister Modi described her as a “daughter of Bihar”. On this occasion, Modi recalled the historical and cultural ties between India and Trinidad and Tobago.
Such cultural events further strengthen diplomatic and people-to-people ties between the two countries. It is a rare event for a Prime Minister of one country to read a poem written by another Prime Minister in his own language. Analysts believe that this will not only strengthen diplomatic ties but also the emotional bond between the people. It is hoped that this visit will open new avenues for future cooperation between the two countries.
