Egyptian Teens Sketch Indian Paintings

More than 10,100 Egyptian students from 1,092 schools participated in the annual 22nd Glimpses of India painting competition in October this year. One hundred and ninety Egyptian students were felicitated by Maulana Azad Centre for Indian Culture (MACIC), Embassy of India. Some of them talked to us about their artworks  

  
 
‘I drew three dancers. I like to dance too ’
When I heard that I would be drawing about India’s culture, a rush of ideas came to my mind. India is a country with beautiful traditions and people. I was debating on whether I should draw about Diwali or about the mesmerising dances that are synonymous with India. I decided to draw three dancers because I am a huge fan of Indian dancing. What draws me is the grace and elegance.
Salma Selim Gamal Eldin Khalil


  
‘My painting will inspire India and Egypt to join hands’
My painting is an expression of my dream to merge Indian and the Egyptian souls scientifically, culturally and artfully. This can be done through the development of the two nations economically – we all know that Egypt and India had established their civilisation thousands of years ago, so we stand on common ground. Hopefully this work of art will support and strengthen our ties.
Habiba Wael Abdel Basset


 
 
‘I made the Taj Mahal’
When I thought of India the usual images of colours and richness flitted before my eyes. But I wanted to make an image that epitomised India. What better than the Taj Mahal! The most beautiful monument in the world deserved a special picture. Adding a personal element to the image, I drew elephants to signify the strength of Indian culture.
Salma Ahmed Zaki

 
 

‘India is synonymous with Mahatma Gandhi’
My picture represents one of the biggest spiritual and political leaders of our time. I have represented Gandhi as a tiger because he represented courage, fearlessness and determination.
Ebram Amgad Helmy

 
 

‘I drew the massive Indian culture’
I drew my representation of India’s culture. The diversity, the vastness and the juxtaposition of unity in diversity is expressed. 
Marwan Atef Gad   

 
 

‘The Buddhist culture impressed me’
I have been particularly fascinated by Buddhist sculptures as they exude charm and serenity. I also sketched a snake and an elephant as they fascinate me.
Zainab Mostafa Rashad


 
‘I made an elephant because it represents India’
Apart from the elephant which stands for India’s strength, I etched the flags of both countries because, for me, they represent the close ties between the two countries.  
Tasbeh Sayed Aly 
 
 
 

‘Both civilisations have come together’
The colour photograph expresses the civilisation of Egypt, India and the future of the two countries. The picture showcases the history of the two civilisations in terms of their rich past.
Abdel Rahman Mahmoud Abdel Alim 

 
 
 
 
‘My painting showcases the Indian girl’
I have tried to portray the strength and pride of the Indian girl. Her eyes reflect her grit and determination.
Arwa Ahmed Hssein

 
 
 
‘Indian with Egyptian touch’
My painting blends Indian and Egyptian features. The girl has sharp features and wears Indian jewellery.
Menna Ehab Abdel Faddil

 
 
 
‘The painting is about Ram’
The photograph showcases one of the Indian gods. It demonstrates his courageous and strength. 
Martina Assad Said
 
 
  
 

‘I drew about Indian religious beliefs’ 
 I respect religious beliefs this is why I painted on Indian religious tradition. 
Ahmed Mohamed Al Sayed Heggazi
 
 
  
 

‘The elephant is an important part of tradition’
One of the most important symbols of Indian culture, it exemplifies both Indian and Egyptian People’s Art.
Sama Mohamed Mohamed

 
 
 

‘The Indian woman represents peace’
My painting has an Indian woman surrounded by shades of blue which represents a sense of calm. The graceful Indian woman in the centre in an orange sari exudes warmth and peace.
Bahira Hossam

 
 

‘I am linking the culture of both nations’
The painting forges a link between Egyptian culture and Indian culture by using Egyptian and Indian motifs.
Rana Mahmoud Essam Hamdy


 
 
‘It’s an expression harmony and love’
This painting expresses the harmony and love between the two nations. I am also highlighting the culture and science of the two ancient civilisations.
Mariam Raafat Fahim Saleb

 
 

‘Melding colours and motifs’
Indian motifs and colours have been used to present the Indian woman.
Yomnna Ahmed Mohamed
 
 
  

‘My portrait shows Gandhi and Sadat’
The element of the peace dove and olive branch along with Gandhi and Sadat stands for peace.
Fatma Mustafa Mahmoud
 
 
 

‘I made an elephant which is linked to India’
Black and white elephant covered with a crown of flowers and colourful feathers makes the painting vibrant. I have linked elephants with India – the flowers represent India’s culture.  
Nehal Mohamed Ahmed

  • About Us

Times Newspaper in Education (Times NIE) is a novel program that helps students ‘Stay Ahead’ and aims at making ‘Learning Fun’. It introduces concepts that help individual growth and development beyond school curriculum.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
