Gandhi Viruddh Gurudev

The 20th century will be remembered as a period of transition in the history of India. Transition from a dark period of ignorance, penury, alien rule, and cultural as well as economic abyss to knowledge, prosperity, self-rule and cultural and economic renaissance. The two people who led this transition were Mahatma Gandhi and Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore.

The fact that these two stalwarts walked this subcontinent at the same time is not only a matter of pride but also a source of amazement as well as a phenomenon seldom encountered in the history of mankind.

The relationship between the two was as unique as the period they lived in. When in need, they were friends indeed but on ideological grounds, they held their own and criticized each other in no uncertain terms. Such bifocal relationships serve as a beacon in the present times when intolerance leads to macabre actions and activities that are a blemish on human civilization.

Based upon the letters and essays they wrote, the play reading being presented on August 10, brings alive a forgotten chapter of our history which should make us proud as well as prompt us to contemplate about the journey we have undertaken in the last 7 or 8 decades since the two departed.
