Event Details : 'Tagore in China' An illustrated talk by Dr. Sunil Kothari followed by the screening of a film: Tagore –A Journey to the East by Bivash Mukherjee, a journalist based in Shanghai.
During his recent visit to Shanghai, Dr Sunil Kothari met Shri. Bivash Mukherjee, a journalist working for Shanghai Daily. This unique and rare documentary captures a little-known chapter— Gurudev’s visits to China in 1924 and twice in 1929, his meeting with Xu Zhimo, a contemporary Chinese poet, with whom Gurudev stayed, the turbulent times and Gurudev’s encounters with the Chinese intelligentsia, poets, writers, artists, and his reaffirming his faith in peace and harmony.
