PM Modi noted recent Indian initiatives in Russia, such as the opening of two new Indian consulates and the public display of sacred Buddhist relics that drew large crowds.<\/p>\n<p>With easier visas, India expects more Russian students, artists and cultural delegations to travel, study and collaborate across Indian cities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-this-means-for-travellers\"><\/span>What This Means for Travellers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For Russian tourists, the upcoming visa change removes one of the biggest hurdles to visiting India.
