According to EU Ambassador to India Tomasz Kozlowski, the cultural project explores the myriad journeys of the diaspora and their contributions to the countries of the European Union. "I believe this exhibition will surprise and delight visitors but I am also hopeful that it will deepen understanding and goodwill between the peoples of the two biggest democracies in the world."

The photo exhibition also showcases how the Indian culture and its rich tradition have made an inroad on the cultural and social landscape of Europe. For example, Basu's photo of a young woman, Tanya Desai, who was born and brought up in Luxembourg, performing the Bharatanatyam Indian classical dance during the India Day celebrations gives an interesting peak into the lives of Indians living there.Prakash Mishra is heading the Asia Team, Credit: Shome Basu

Similarly his photo of Indians playing cricket in Sofia, Bulgaria, clearly shows that the passion for the game continues even in their adopted country. The photo shows Prakash Mishra, the captain of the Asia Team that counts in its ranks players from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Japan.
