Embrace your dual identity: Pemmasani to Indian diaspora

New Delhi: Union Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development Dr Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani on Wednesday urged young members of the Indian diaspora in Baku to proudly embrace their dual identity -- balancing India’s ancient wisdom with a modern, multicultural worldview.

Addressing a gathering of more than 1,000 Indians in Azerbaijan’s capital, he said the diaspora plays a vital role in strengthening India’s global presence and shaping its future. The event brought together professionals from sectors such as oil and gas, hospitality, and commodity trading, along with 380 Indian students studying in the country.
