Event Description : To Mark IIC Annual Day : IIC Heritage Walk led by Beeba Sobti, historian, pedagogue and Delhi aficionado 

The walk weaves in the warp and weft of IIC’s collective memory – the Triveni of the intellectual, cultural and social streams set in the milieu of Joseph Allen Stein’s architectural creation in stone, water and the greens. How Stein’s question to C. D. Deshmukh (“Have you ever admired the sunset over Lodi Park?”) led to the selection of the site for the Centre? What is the connection of IIC with the Abbey of Montmajour in southern France? Where can you locate ‘The Captive’ in the Centre and what is its link to Robben Island? When were the four large blocks of south Indian granite placed in the IIC campus and what do they commemorate? The walk shall attempt to provide some answers.  

IIC Life Trustee Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan shall flag off the walk 

Concept: Suhas Borker
