  • Introduction to Video Content
  • As the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, prepares to visit Australia, the vibrant Aussie community is calling for a street in Sydney to be renamed Little India. Located in the heart of Sydney, Wigram Street in Harris Park is home to a thriving Indian community that hopes to create a slice of India within Australia.Sanjay Deshwal, the president of the Little India Harris Park Business Association, affectionately known as the unofficial mayor, believes that Australia-India relations extend far beyond cricket, curries, and cinema. He envisions Little India as a destination place, where locals and visitors alike can experience a taste of Indian culture and heritage.Walking along Wigram Street, one can feel the palpable excitement and anticipation. The street is buzzing with energy, and the locals cannot contain their joy. With the world's most populated country, India, soon to be represented by its leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in Australia, the Australian-Indian community could not be prouder.Originally, Prime Minister Modi was scheduled to attend the Quad Leaders Summit, along with US President Joe Biden and Japan's Fumio Kishida. However, with the withdrawal of President Biden and Japan's leader, India's leader remains committed to the visit, making it an even more significant occasion for the Australian-Indian community.In the shadow of Parramatta's growing high-rises, Little India represents the spiritual home for Australia's largest migrant population. It is hoped that Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stone for a monument that will serve as a symbol of friendship between Australia and India.While the exact itinerary of Prime Minister Modi's visit is shrouded in secrecy, preparations are in full swing. A high level of delegation visits from the Prime Minister's office in India, the Indian High Commission in Australia, and the Consulate General in Sydney are indicative of the significance of this visit. Local state and federal members are also actively involved in ensuring the success of the program.With nearly a million Indians residing in Australia, the anticipated visit of Prime Minister Modi is expected to trigger a Modi-mania frenzy. Charter buses and a special Modi Airways plane have been arranged to transport Modi's ardent supporters from Melbourne. In 2014, during his previous visit, he received a rock star welcome from his people, who affectionately referred to their journey as the "Modi Express." This time around, tens of thousands of adoring fans are expected to flock to Sydney's Kudos Bank Arena to greet their beloved leader.This historic moment is not only an opportunity for the Australian-Indian community to express their pride but also for the people of Australia to experience the rich and vibrant culture of India. The sights, sounds, and aromas of India will come alive in Little India, allowing both locals and visitors to immerse themselves in the unique flavors and colors of the country.The proposed renaming of Wigram Street to Little India reflects the desire of the community to create a tangible connection between Australia and India. It is a small step towards cementing the growing relationship between the two nations, beyond the realm of cricket and cultural exchanges. The Australian-Indian community hopes that the street will become a symbol of the enduring friendship and cooperation between Australia and India.As the Indian Prime Minister's visit approaches, excitement fills the air in Little India. The community eagerly awaits the arrival of their esteemed leader, hoping to catch a glimpse of him in person and demonstrate their deep admiration and support. The stage is set for Modi Mania to take over, as the Australian-Indian community prepares to welcome their beloved Prime Minister with open arms and warm hearts.Through this visit, the Australian-Indian community aims to showcase the unity and harmony that exists within their community and share their rich culture and heritage with the broader Australian population. It is an opportunity to foster cultural exchange, deepen the ties between both countries, and build a brighter future together.As the countdown to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arrival begins, Little India in Sydney stands ready to embrace its new identity and welcome the world with its vibrant spirit and warm hospitality. This historic visit will leave a lasting impression on the Australian-Indian community, forging a stronger bond between the two nations and paving the way for a brighter and more prosperous future.
