Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address ‘Brihattar Bharat: International Conference on ‘Bharat’s Cultural Connections across the Globe’ in New Delhi today through a video message.

The three-day conference will bring together delegates, ambassadors and scholars from 50 nations to deliberate on India’s historical and contemporary cultural connections with the wider world. Participants from countries including China, Japan, Mongolia, Nepal and Iran, among others, will contribute to discussions on shared cultural heritage and civilizational exchanges. The conference marks the centenary of the Greater India Society, also known as Brihattar Bharat Parishad, established in Kolkata on 14 October 1926 by a generation of Indian scholars, with Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore as its spiritual guide. An exhibition titled ‘Common Cultural Heritage of Asia’ will be organised during the conference.
