  "account": "Polish envoy Piotr Antoni Switalski has expressed his support for India's stance against terrorism, stating that his country views India as a reliable partner in combating the issue. During a press interaction, Switalski emphasized that Poland is a victim of terrorism and therefore understands India's need to pursue terrorists wherever they are found. Despite noting that no such attacks have occurred in Poland, the envoy affirmed that they stand by India in their fight against terrorism.\n\nSwitalski's comments come in the context of India-Poland cultural ties, which have been strengthened over the years. Earlier in his address, the envoy highlighted the historical relationship between Poland and India, mentioning the benevolent actions of the then Maharaja Jam Sahib of Nawanagar, Sir Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja, who sheltered Polish children during World War II. The envoy also noted that a museum is being built in Kolhapur to commemorate the kind actions of the royal family of Kolhapur during that time.\n\nFurthermore, Switalski mentioned Poland's growing economic cooperation with India, emphasizing that the two nations can work together in various sectors, including agriculture. He also acknowledged the unique historical connection between Poland and India, pointing out that the Polish language contains words with Sanskrit roots, and that the envoy's surname itself has Sanskrit origins. He concluded by stating that India and Europe, along with Poland, can create an axis of stability, predictability, and a model for global governance.",
