Summary/Abstract: The Post-war India Fund, hosted by Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry Foreign Affairs, contains essential documents on cultural relations between Romanian People’s Republic and India between 1957 and 1967. During this period, there were numerous cultural visits, literary translations and exhibitions organized in Romania or in India, with the aim of promoting culture and the exchange of ideas. In this study, I’m bringing to reader’s attention titles of Romanian literary works translated in India between 1957 and 1967, and folk-art exhibitions organized in India. It should be noted that most exchanges were based on reciprocity, the aim being bringing the two countries closer together and finding a common cultural identity.
