PARIS, FRANCE, April 21, 2001: With a mission to expose the people of France to Indian culture, Anne Klasen, a French author, has organized her third Indian festival. Fascinated with Indian people and culture, Klasen has made annual visits to India since 1960. It is this love of India that has given the fire necessary to organize the festival where the French people will be entertained by popular Hindi films, music concerts and dances. Indian handicrafts and food will be on sale and, for the intellectual, debates on Indian politics and society. French schools will be visited by the festival and Indian meals served in their cafeteria for a day.
