There used to be significant cultural exchange between Russia and India few decades back. It is good to see both countries trying to revive that. After all, better understanding among nations is conducive to world peace. I would like to see similar exchange between India and other European nations.

Russia and India are working on an agreement to "jointly produce" films to improve ties between their respective citizens, Russian ambassador to India Nikolay Kudashev said on Friday
Mr Kudashev said that the two countries have an age-old history of cultural collaboration.
He also announced a grand cultural event -- Days of Russian Culture in India -- that will bring some of the most iconic musical and art forms to India over the next two months.
"The two nations have a special affection towards each other, with a history of cultural collaboration that goes long back. Some of the illustrious names are Rabindranath Tagore and Leo Tolstoy, and many other distinguished sons and daughters of both the countries, representing our ties," he said.
"It will open this Sunday with a breathtaking performance 'Reverse' by the Moscow Musical Theater. It will blur the boundaries between dramatic and classic, and the circus performances," Mr Kudashev told reporters.
The 75-minute production has been created by young Russian directors Andrey Koltsov and Irina Drozhzhina, with participation of Debra Brown, the Emmy Award-winning Canadian choreographer, officials at the embassy said.
Asked if cinema is also going to be part of the mega event, the ambassador said, "Some wonderful events are lined up from musical band performances to a famous dance group performing in India."
