Very happy to have witnessed a Bhojpuri Chautaal performance in Port of Spain.” 🫶✨

🌐 Heritage Meets Diplomacy

👏 Spotlight on Diaspora

Modi also met winners of the “Bharat Ko Janiye” quiz—Shankar Ramjattan, Nicholas Maraj, Vince Mahato—and praised their efforts to stay connected with India. ✨🇮🇳 He called the diaspora’s role in Trinidad & Tobago “enriching the country’s journey,” appreciating how they balanced identity, culture, and progress. 🌏🌟

🤝 Strengthening Bilateral Ties

🧐 Mixed Reactions & Concerns

✍️ MediaFx’s Take (from people’s angle)

From the working class’s lens, this isn’t just about dancing and photo-ops. 💪✨ Celebrating culture is lovely, but the real victory will be when such visits bring jobs, healthcare, cheaper fuel, and cleaner energy to ordinary people—both in India and in Trinidad & Tobago. 🌿🩺 True cultural diplomacy must uplift the masses, not just elites clinking glasses and signing MoUs. ✊❤️
