Relations between India and Singapore – A Brief Overview

 

Cultural

 

     In February 1993, India and Singapore signed in New Delhi an MOU for co-operation in the Arts, Archives and Heritage, which is renewed on a biannual basis. Various cultural events have been organised both in India and in Singapore under this agreement. Apart from Government to Government initiatives, there are many societies in Singapore (such as the Singapore Fine Arts Society, Tagore Society, India Club, Nrityalaya, the Expatriate Indian Women’s Club etc.) as also societies constituted along regional and linguistic lines, which are actively engaged in propagating Indian culture. Popular culture in the form of Indian films and music is also widely distributed in Singapore on a commercial basis, targeted at the Indian-origin community and resident NRIs. There is no regular educational exchange programme between India and Singapore, though many Indian students are studying here on a private basis, and on scholarships offered by local institutions including Singapore Airlines.
