As someone who visited Slovakia last year, I can say they have very limited knowledge about India. This initiative will definitely help create better understanding between our cultures.

While I appreciate the cultural diplomacy, I hope they're also including contemporary Indian literature and not just traditional topics. Modern India has so much to offer beyond ancient civilization.

Diwali celebrations, book donations, ODOP stalls - our embassy is doing excellent work! This is soft power at its best. More countries should have such India corners in their libraries.
