Event Description : "The Tagore-Gandhi Debate on Matters of Truth and Untruth" by Dr. Bindu Puri - Book launch.
Dr. Bindu Puri’s book The Tagore-Gandhi Debate on Matters of Truth and Untruth, published by Springer in the series ‘Sophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures’, reconstructs the Tagore-Gandhi exchange which took place through letters, telegrams and articles in Indian newspapers between 1915 and 1941. This exchange turned into a debate, seemingly, about many things: satyagraha, the non-cooperation movement, the boycott of educational institutions, swadeshi and the burning of foreign cloth. However, the author argues that the debate was primarily about truth, possibilities of untruth and the nature of freedom/swaraj. Professor Bindu Puri teaches
philosophy at Delhi University.
The release will be accompanied by a panel discussion. The speakers are distinguished Oxford philosopher Sir Richard Sorabjee, eminent historian Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, sociologist Professor T N Madan and the author. The panel will be chaired by the philosopher and Rajya Sabha MP Professor Mrinal Miri.
