A journalist named Chaitali Banerjee Roy wrote a book called 'Sadaaqa'.

The book is about the friendship between two countries, India and Kuwait.

Instead of talking about politics or big agreements, it tells the stories of real people.

These people include business owners, teachers, and community leaders who helped connect the two countries.

Roy lived in Kuwait for more than 25 years and wanted to share these stories.

The book was launched at an event organized by a literature club at the Indian Council for Cultural Relations.

Several speakers came to the event, including doctors, professors, and a poet.

The cover of the book has a sound wave design, which represents conversations that cross borders and time.

Roy hopes readers will see international relationships through the people who build them every day.
