Indo-Chinese Organisations for people to people contacts

Around 10 years ago, I was living in China with my wife and she developed some medical complications, which we googled and found were similar to Vertigo (google used to work at that time in China). We have to take help of our colleagues to find the right hospital and the right doctor and to explain the exact nature of the symptoms. 

They gave a very good medicine - Vertigo Calm (a TCM) 

A month later they gave - Gingoba Biloba (a TCM)

10 years fast forward, my wife again developed similar symptoms. We tried n number of doctors and medicines but nothing seemed to work. Finally one of my colleague and a Chinese friend fetched both these medicines one by one from China. 

I have studied, worked and lived in China for long and feel a deep connect with Chinese people. Though there are border tensions between India and China and deep mistrust between the governments but I still believe that the destiny of both the Asian Countries are connected. Both the countries are immediate neighbors and next superpowers and both have to live peacefully with each other. Infact, I strongly believe that both countries can never go for a war. The current scenarios are due to historically follies of British cartographers and both the countries need to move ahead of the historical follies.  

At the same time, there is lack of strong people to people contact organisation between India and China. I casually google through and found some organisations, which are focused on 

  1. Trade
  2. Economy
  3. Culture
  4. Specific Causes
  5. Policy Making and Research
But there is no organisation, which is focused on 
  1. People to people contact
  2. Helping Indians in China or Chinese in India for petty issues related to passport, local police, rentals etc. 
Hope, one day, the dark clouds will get over and genuine people to people contacts will start between two great nations.
