While I appreciate the cultural exchange, I hope our government's focus on "supporting art" translates into more concrete support for our own struggling filmmakers and artists here. The FTAs and tech partnerships are crucial, but let's not forget our creative industry needs funding and freedom too.

Interesting to see the soft power angle at play. Using popular culture to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties is a smart strategy. The Critical Tech Partnership could be a game-changer for Indian startups.

Bahut badhiya! Israel is a leader in innovation and security tech. This partnership is a win-win. Maybe we'll see an Indian version of Fauda soon? The collaboration in arts is the icing on the cake.
