गांधी और टैगोर ji ki friendship
Answers
Answer:
Between 1915 and 1941, Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi exchanged a series of letters. From matters concerning the country’s freedom to boycotting foreign cloth—their letters were collected and compiled in a book titled The Mahatma And The Poet: Letters And Debates Between Gandhi And Tagore 1915-1941. These epistolary exchanges serve as frank and intimate portraits of two contemporaries who were friends as well as intellectual rivals. In fact Tagore, who admired Gandhi as a political leader, was critical of some of Gandhi’s strategies. In the aftermath of the 1934 earthquake in Bihar, for instance, Gandhi stated that the prevalence of untouchability caused the calamity—it was divine intervention—a comment remarkably similar to the one recently made by an RSS ideologue on Kerala floods and Sabarimala. Tagore, in response, penned a scathing letter to Gandhi, in which he expressed his “painful surprise" at Gandhi’s “unscientific view of things".
Now theatre veteran M.K. Raina has reimagined these conversations between the two into a play titled, Stay Yet A While, which will be staged on Gandhi’s 149th birth anniversary in Delhi. Performed by Avijit Dutt as Tagore, Oroon Das as Gandhi, and Preeti Agarwal as the narrator, Stay Yet A While is a multilayered piece complemented by rare archival footage of the freedom struggle. Edited excerpts from an interview with Raina, the director of the play:
There is a popular perception that Tagore and Gandhi were great friends who seldom disagreed on issues concerning India. Your play proves otherwise. In fact, it scrutinizes the quality of their debates.
Yes, Gandhi and Tagore started writing to each other back in 1915, until Tagore’s death in 1941. They were in constant correspondence, sending letters and telegrams to each other, in which they’d express agreements as well as disagreements—often undercutting each other. One was a political leader, the other was a poet. The best part to note, however, is the quality of debate between these two great minds almost a century ago, confronting questions of India’s future and the freedom movement. You see both of them often disagreeing fundamentally on several things, like the charkha, civil disobedience, burning of foreign cloth, and so on. But it was the quality of discussion and the quality of civil disagreement—you know, agree to disagree—that amazes you. When they talked about the freedom of India, they complemented each other beautifully through their critique of each others’ views.
