PM Modi Shares Vision for Global Creative Hub"
Diljit responded, expressing his belief that while festivals like Coachella are popular globally, India’s culture is so rich that it could host an even grander event. He shared a personal experience, recalling a time when he was at a dhaba (roadside eatery) where someone was singing a beautiful Rajasthani song. He felt so moved by the performance that it made him consider stopping his own singing, even though he is a professional. He emphadata-sized that the singer, though not a professional, possessed an immense amount of talent and artistry.
Diljit believes that if such artistic expression is cultivated and showcased on a larger scale in india, it could attract people from around the world. In response, PM Modi shared his thoughts, revealing that he has been contemplating a similar idea for years and is now actively pursuing it. He described his vision for a “big wave movement” to unite the global creative community, positioning india as the central hub for creativity. He mentioned that India’s vast cultural and artistic legacy makes it an ideal place for such a movement, especially since it produces a significant amount of the world’s films.
PM Modi also recalled a conversation he had with German Chancellor angela Merkel, where he spoke about the country’s diverse musical traditions. He explained that music in india differs depending on the time of day and the emotional context—whether it’s sorrow or joy—highlighting the country’s varied musical landscapes. This intrigued Chancellor Merkel, showcasing the global interest in India's rich cultural diversity.
