This is how people are reacting:
Many Uzbeks can speak hindi. It was same scenario in the year 1991 when I visited Moscow and later all over CIS. Entire region had affection towards India & indian products. Very unfortunate we could not leverage it. Hopefully, India & Uzbekistan will make closer & stronger ties

That's the message India is used to send across world. It's called Love. Thanks MEA for promoting it.

Not only now,even during the Soviet days,the people from the Southern Republics were fond of Indian films including music and Indians.When I was leading a delegation,a person from this very place gave us breakfast in a Leningrad hotel at his cost despite our protestations!
