New Delhi: Malaysia, which was formerly Hindu but later converted to Islam, still produces some of the finest dance dramas based on the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Its capital Kuala Lumpur (originally called Cholapuram) attracts many foreign tourists to see these dance performances. Apart from the natives of Malaysia, there are many Indians here. There are also many Chinese. This country, located on the Strait of Malacca, has unusual cultural and strategic importance. Similarly, when Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim came to India on a visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave him a warm welcome. The Prime Minister had an in-depth conversation with Anwar Ibrahim, who arrived in India late on Monday evening.
