compare to the cost of building a multi cultural place at sharjah,Indian govt contribution of 1/36 lacs dollars is a peanut,when compared to the cost,even the Indians at sharja themselve will be meeting the cost.yet this token is well appreciated by the indians abroad.There can be maximum 3 or four cultural faith in sharja,viz Hindu, Muslim and christian,or even Punjabi only.
