About

Between 1915 and 1941, Gandhi and Tagore wrote many letters to each other freely expressing viewpoints and often disagreeing with each other on core issues such as nationalism, charkha, reason, and swaraj. Eight decades later, these discussions are still relevant in understanding India better. Not only are the debates engaging, they are also a lesson in expressing disagreements in a civil, cordial, and respectful manner. So this puliyabaazi is about the Gandhi-Tagore puliyabaazi. Saurabh and Pranay pick themes up from this treasure trove and shed light on their two perspectives.

महात्मा और गुरुदेव, गांधी और टैगोर | भारत की यह दोनों महान हस्तियां भारतीय संस्कृति की वैचारिक विविधता की परिचायक है | १९१५ से लेकर १९४१ के बीच दोनों ने एक दूसरे को कई ख़त लिखे जिसमें उन्होंने अपने-अपने मत को रखते हुए एक-दूसरे से राष्ट्रवाद, असहयोग आंदोलन, चरखा, तर्क इत्यादि जैसे मूल विषयों पर असहमति व्यक्त की| तो ये पुलियाबाज़ी गांधी और टैगोर की पुलियाबाज़ी पर |
