Through much of the 1950s, regular educational, cultural and scientific-technical exchanges between India and China which had been stepped up from the 1940s, continued. Many delegations were exchanged between the two countries. Noted Indian artists like B. R. Sinha and the scholar-philosopher Rahul Sankrityayan visited China and interacted with their counterparts there. Indian films particularly *Awaara* and other films starring Raj Kapoor became very familiar to Chinese people.
