In a recent tweet, President Droupadi Murmu shed light on the historical connection between India and Serbia, emphasizing their shared ancient roots. President Murmu’s tweet highlighted the significant role the Non-Aligned Movement played in shaping the relations between the two nations in the modern era.
India and Serbia, both nations with rich histories, have shared deep cultural and historical ties. President Murmu’s tweet acknowledged this connection, drawing attention to the monuments and symbols that serve as enduring testaments to the historical bond between the two countries.
The busts of three eminent figures from India, Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and Rabindranath Tagore, located in Belgrade, Serbia, symbolize the respect and admiration Serbia holds for these great Indian personalities. These sculptures not only celebrate the individual contributions of these iconic figures but also reflect the values they represent: peace, leadership, and literary excellence.
Another significant symbol of the historical connection between India and Serbia is the Tito roundabout in Jodhpur, a city in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, India. This roundabout commemorates Josip Broz Tito’s visit to Jodhpur in 1963 and serves as a testament to the warmth and friendship that existed between Tito and the Indian people.
President Murmu’s tweet highlighted these historical landmarks, emphasizing the deep-rooted ties that have shaped the relations between India and Serbia over the years. These connections extend beyond diplomatic and political interactions, reaching into the realms of culture, literature, and shared values.
