SUMMARY:Panel Discussion on “Is Gandhi Relevant Today?”
DESCRIPTION:The International Relations Committee in partnership with Wellesley College
 , USA, invites you to panel discussion on “Is Gandhi Relevant Today?” \nAs 
 we approach the end of the second decade of the third millennium, when many
  parts of the world are experiencing the impact of political and ideologica
 l polarization, it is time to critically examine the thought and legacy of 
 M. K. Gandhi who emerged as an important figure in India and on the world s
 cene in the last century of the second millennium. With this view, a team o
 f three faculty at Wellesley College taught the first half of a course titl
 ed “Gandhi in His Indian Contexts” during the fall semester at Wellesley, i
 n which they critically examined Gandhi’s work, thought and responses to ot
 her leaders as well as scholars on him. The focus on India in this course i
 s meant to help  explore in what ways Gandhi’s legacy is being engaged in h
 is home country. The second half of the course is designed as a wintersessi
 on. A group of 16 students and 3 faculty members from Wellesley will spend 
 one week at FLAME exploring engagement with Gandhi, as inspiration or criti
 que, in the city where he spent important years of Quit India movement in p
 rison and also engaged in intense debates with other leaders, especially Dr
 . Ambedkar.\nAs part of the wintersession, a panel discussion with 4 Pune-b
 ased thinkers, activists, and academics – Mr. Milind Bokil, the eminent wri
 ter; Mr. Ramesh Awasthi, from the NGO MASOOM; Prof. Shruti Joshi from the K
 arve Institution; and Prof. Divya Balan of FLAME University – is organized
