Jaishankar Launches 19th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Website

By Editorial Team November 11, 2026

External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar speaks during the launch of the 19th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas website.

External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar highlighted the significant role of the Indian diaspora in strengthening India's global connections during the launch of the website for the 19th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas. Describing the Indian diaspora as a "living bridge between India and the world", he said overseas Indians contribute to the global exchange of ideas, knowledge, innovation, culture and enterprise.

Dr Jaishankar emphasised that the diaspora is not only connected to India's past but is also an integral part of the country's present and an important stakeholder in its future. He highlighted the theme of the 19th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, "From Roots to Return: Reigniting Diaspora Connect with Bharat", which reflects India's commitment to deepening the connection of overseas Indians with their civilisational, cultural and ancestral roots.

The External Affairs Minister further noted that the initiative aims to provide younger generations of the Indian diaspora with meaningful opportunities to rediscover their heritage, understand contemporary India and develop a stronger, enduring connection with the land of their ancestors.
