Recently, the Consul General of India in Shanghai, Pratik Mathur, visited the Tiger Hill Pagoda in Suzhou, China, to mark the inauguration of the grand exhibition "The Light and the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One" in India, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said Indian embassy in Shanghai.

Tiger Hill Pagoda, located in the ancient city of Suzhou, is the oldest and largest Buddhist pagoda south of the Yangtze River. The site holds an important place in Buddhist architecture, history and art.

During the visit, the Consul General interacted with Buddhist monks and members of the local community, including Friends of India. He highlighted the return of the sacred Piprahwa Ratna of Lord Buddha to India after 127 years, calling it a moment of pride for India's spiritual and civilisational heritage.

The event also featured presentations and cultural performances based on the teachings of Lord Buddha. These performances reflected the deep cultural connect and strong resonance surrounding the Piprahwa Relics exhibition, the Indian Embassy in Shanghai added.

Interesting development. While party-to-party talks are good, I hope our government remains firm on core national interests, especially along the border. Trust must be built through actions, not just meetings in Delhi.

The Buddhist cultural connection is our true soft power. The return of the Piprahwa relics is a massive achievement. This is how we should engage - highlighting India's spiritual heritage and ancient bonds, which are far deeper than any modern political disagreement.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, communication is always better than silence. On the other, as an Indian citizen, I find it hard to separate such diplomatic visits from the ongoing tensions at the LAC. The proof of any goodwill will be seen on the ground, not in party offices.

Good move. We can't live in perpetual hostility with a neighbor. Engaging through multiple channels - political, cultural, spiritual - is smart strategy. The Buddha exhibition is a brilliant way to connect with the Chinese people directly, beyond governments.

Respectfully, while I support dialogue, I hope our side is clear-eyed. These inter-party communications should not become a platform that inadvertently legitimizes positions that are against our territorial integrity. The focus on shared culture is the safer and more productive path forward.
