Description
This is a transcript and recitation of a lecture Rabindranath Tagore delivered at the Calcutta university back in 1922, followed by another one by Leonard Elmhirst, who had joined Tagore for rural reconstruction efforts in Eastern India in the 1920s. Elmhirst, the agriculturist, concentrated on how the city takes all and returns little or nothing of real value to the soil’. Tagore, the humanist, talked about the importance of replenishing what you take from society as well as what you take from the soil. Taking without giving back denudes the land, the ecology and the human society, and that is where we might be headed in our reckless drive towards mindless consumerism and wealth creation. The essay is recited, part by part, by eight people around the planet.
Tagore’s observations a century ago, appears eerily relevant even today.
