At a literary event ahead of Hindi Diwas 2026, he urged Indian-Americans to preserve Hindi not just as a language, but as a cultural anchor for future generations. Even as he met NASA chiefs and pitched India’s energy reforms at G20, his focus on heritage stood out. Why? Because in a world where global talent flows freely, language and culture are what keep communities connected; and governments know it. The diaspora, he noted, isn’t just contributing to the US economy; they’re carrying India’s soul overseas. One tree planted, one Hindi poem recited, one diaspora event attended; these aren’t ceremonial gestures. They’re strategic, long-term investments in soft power. And for job-seekers at home? It’s a reminder: whether you’re in Houston or Hyderabad, your cultural identity is an asset; not just personal, but national.
