There are about 30,000 Sudanese who have studied in Indian
Universities and at any given point of time there are 4000 students studying in
different parts of India in different streams and different Universities.
Sudanese Indian Friendship Association (SIFA) is an officially recognized body
in Khartoum for the alumnus of Indian universities. It has an office building
which has been fondly named as Taj Mahal and has around 1481 members.
Yousri Burei is the Chairman of SIFA. Among the various
activities carried out by SIFA, they recently organized a symposium titled
‘Democracy in India’ in which the Ambassador of India spoke at length about the
constituency and the practice of Democracy in India.
As the Chairman , Yousri Burei has been shouldering
great responsibility of SIFA. His simplicity and sincerity is appreciated by
the members. In this picture you can see Yousri Burei shouldering the famous
rock of Mahabalipuram near Chennai in India. Yousrie had studied in Pune, but
as the Chairman of SIFA has to do the balancing act with members who studied in
different parts of India. This picture with him and the balancing rock is
symbolic and significant.
