💡 MediaFx Commentary (People’s Perspective)

From working‑class India and Ghana, this visit shows the power of real people-to-people partnerships—not just elites. 🇮🇳🇬🇭 When nations share cultural dances & ayurveda wisdom, invest in small farmers, and teach young minds through scholarships, it’s not just diplomacy—it’s solidarity in action. These moves build grassroots equality and peace far stronger than corporate deals or power politics. Kudos to governments who choose people over profits! ✊ #MediaFxPerspective
