A defining moment came in 2018, when Dada was part of a 31-member delegation representing India during a UK tour, coordinated under the Indian Ekta initiative, that culminated in a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

For the global Indian diaspora, Dada stands as a reminder that legacy is not declared. It is lived, sustained, and passed forward through institutions, relationships, and example.
