India’s Ambassador to China, Pradeep Kumar Rawat, celebrated a proud cultural milestone in Shanghai. He felicitated educator Bhavya Mehta for teaching Hindi at the Britannica International Senior Secondary School. The school is the first in China’s international network to introduce Hindi classes for young students.
The Indian Consulate in Shanghai said Mehta is the daughter of war hero Brigadier Ravi Datt Mehta. She has worked to promote Hindi and Indian culture among students. Several Chinese universities, including Fudan, SISU, Tsinghua, and Peking, already offer Hindi at higher levels, showing rising interest in Indian studies.
Ambassador Rawat and Consul General Pratik Mathur met Chinese scholars at the Shanghai Institutes of International Studies. They discussed global governance, multilateral reform, and India’s leadership in shaping a fair global order. The talks reflected mutual respect and cooperation between the two nations.
Later, Rawat met Indian community leaders and business professionals in Shanghai. They discussed trade, welfare, and cultural ties. The meeting celebrated the “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” spirit and highlighted the Indian diaspora’s role in strengthening international friendships.
