The Indian High Commissioner to Malaysia spoke to its citizens who are students in a reception at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Indian Cultural Centre. He spoke eloquently on Indian student community globally that stands at 1 million plus, and that Indian Student numbers will only increase in Malaysia given the Canada draw down. There are 17 million Indians in the diaspora. Malaysia has 4400 Indian students in the country. Students were raising their concerns and the HC was proactive, a signature of the Jaishankar era of Indian foreign policy and diaspora engagement. There are 24000 Indian Professional expats in Malaysia.
Met fellow Indians in Malaysia and my university, even my department at the reception.
It brought a tear to my eye, when the HC mentioned welcome home, this is your space. Jai Hind.
