On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the profound cultural ties between India and Mauritius, highlighting the warmth of the diaspora in the island nation. Speaking at an event for the Indian community in Mauritius, Modi referred to the island as a ‘Mini India.’ He stated, “Our ancestors were brought here from various parts of India. The diversity in language, dialects, and culinary traditions truly makes this place a microcosm of Hindustan—a miniature India!”

“Every time I visit Mauritius, it feels like I am among family,” he expressed.

Modi further remarked, “Mauritius is not just a partner nation; for us, it is family.” He announced a significant decision to extend the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card eligibility to the seventh generation of the Indian diaspora in Mauritius. “I had the honor of presenting the OCI card to the President of Mauritius and his wife, and I am equally pleased to extend this privilege to the Prime Minister and his spouse,” he noted.

Reflecting on his previous visit to Mauritius, Modi shared, “Exactly 10 years ago, I came to Mauritius at this time. It was shortly after Holi, and I brought the spirit of ‘Phagwa’ with me. This time, I will take the vibrant colors of Holi back to India…”

He conveyed a sense of connection, stating, “There is a sense of belonging in the air, the soil, and the water here.”

Addressing the chords of solidarity, the Prime Minister assured, “In times of need, India has always supported Mauritius. During the COVID-19 pandemic, India was the first to provide 100,000 vaccines and critical medicines. Whenever Mauritius faces a challenge, India is always the first to respond. And when Mauritius thrives, India celebrates right alongside. As I mentioned earlier, Mauritius is family.”
