New Delhi:
The 120 photographs compiled in a coffee table book may not be an
encyclopaedia of India-Russia ties but are enough to take an
onlooker to some major landmarks of the long road the two countries
have traversed in their time-tested relations.
The album, compiled by the Russian embassy and released Tuesday by
former foreign secretary of India Krishnan Raghunath, has
photographs dating back from the 1940s to Russian Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin's India trip in March this year.
Russian ambassador to India Alexander M. Kadakin was also present
for the official release of the book aptly titled: "Russia and India
From the Past into the Future: Continuity and Innovation".
India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru with Russian artist
and philosopher Nicholas Roerich in the Kullu Valley Himachal
Pradesh - a historic photograph of 1942 - is perhaps a testimony to
the deep ties the two countries have forged through the annals of
history.
From culture, cinema, military, economy, energy, space, science and
technology to nuclear energy ties, the album gives a panoramic
insight into all aspects of cooperation between the two countries
since 1955 when Nehru visited the then Soviet Union.
Nehru in his trademark white jacket is seen with his daughter Indira
Gandhi in a June 1955 photograph during their trip to Soviet Union.
The trip was returned by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in the fall
of that year and is captured in a black and white photograph shot on
the lawns of Rashtrapati Bhavan with Nehru and India's first
president Rajendra Prasad.
"These rare glimpses illustrate the unique experience of
Russian-Indian amity, which in our commonly cherished and priceless
legacy to be handed over to coming generation," Kadakin said.
It is a testimony to "what has been already achieved and will help
visualise more graphically the vistas of strengthening the strategic
cooperation, set new ambitions goals and facilitate the steady
progress towards new luring horizon and breath taking heights,"
Kadakin noted about the book that opens with two women dancers from
India and Russia embracing each other in a 1987 picture.
