Welcome Patrons!!We bring you two highly though provoling and enlightening talks at the library. This is a Free Event.
We start at 3PM with our first speaker Partha Sircar who will read excerts from his writings on Bengal and Bengalees. Followed by a 20 min team and snack break.
The next talk is on "Tolstoy and Tagore Principles of Global Thinking"
Tolstoy and Tagore were boldly original because their sense of self stretched far beyond the social systems meant to confine us through rewards and punishments. They spoke with clarity and courage because they trusted truths born from their own inner lives rather than those imposed by propaganda, ritual, habit, or force. Both thinkers argued that politics must expand past modern, imperial, national, or socialist frameworks to embrace alternative paths to freedom—paths grounded in self‑reflection and capable of nurturing resilient communities across the world.
Choi Chatterjee is Emerita Professor of History at California State University, Los Angeles.

In addition, she has co-authored two textbooks and co-edited four volumes of original essays. Chatterjee is writing a history of the Russian Orthodox text, The Way of the Pilgrim, and how it sparked spiritual conversations in Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and India.
This talk is based on her work on "Russia in World History".
