Addressing the Indian diaspora, Modi said, “It takes you four hours to reach here from India but it took four decades for an Indian PM to travel to Kuwait.”Greeting the gathering for the series of festivals that would be celebrated over next few weeks, he said, “You all have come from different parts of India, but looking at all of you, it feels like a mini India has gathered here.”“Every year, hundreds of Indians come to Kuwait; you have added Indian touch to Kuwaiti society. You have filled Kuwait’s canvas with colours of Indian skills, mixed with the essence of India’s talent, technology and tradition,” the PM said. “India has manpower, skills and technology needed by New Kuwait,” he added.Earlier, Modi met two Kuwaiti nationals who translated and published India’s two iconic epics, Mahabharata and Ramayana in Arabic. He also signed copies of the Arabic versions of the two epics. “Happy to see Arabic translations of the Ramayan and Mahabharat. I compliment Abdullah Al-Baroun and Abdul Lateef Al-Nesef for their efforts in translating and publishing it. Their initiative highlights the popularity of Indian culture globally,” Modi said in a post on X.
