Santiniketan and was sent across India and abroad for musical education for the purpose In his memoir he wrote how he tried to suggest songs that could be performed on his birthday “You decide on what you want to sing why will I choose songs for my birthday” Ghosh quoted Tagore as telling him in reply Also read:What would you serve Rabindranath Tagore if he came home for lunch The poet was then requested to pen a song especially for the occasion but he refused fearing criticism and suggested names of some contemporary poets to do the job Ghosh and others however managed to prevail and Tagore

and set it to tune Ghosh wrote in Rabindrasangeet The date was May 6 1941 two days before his birthday that was celebrated with much fanfare Tagore’s rather peculiar bordering on the eccentric tastes

wisdom by Rabindranath Tagore “To me the song brings out Tagore’s love of life and his celebration of living In this song — as in many others — he uses the sun as a metaphor for himself He is very clearly conscious of his own mortality in this song; the ability to celebrate living also represents his unending capacity to look beyond the imminence of his own death” says Dr Ghosh Rabindranath Tagore during his tour of the West in 1921 (Photo: oldindianphotosin) He believes the wider reason for this song’s significance is because of its quest to look for the permanence of human existence in a world torn apart by World War II “Surrounded by death this song is a yearning for life Surrounded by destruction and the possibility of his own end this song is a call for a new beginning Surrounded by mortality this is his final defiant call for the human values that are immortal” adds Dr Ghosh who researches and writes about art-house traditions in Indian films and about their impact on

another opportunity to take the measure of his Indian counterpart Prime Minister Narendra Modi Over the past six months US officials like former Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel have tried to emphasise the ways in which Obama and Modi are similar noting for instance that both are outsider candidates from humble backgrounds In reality however Modi looks more like India’s Ronald Reagan than its Obama especially when it comes to his dealings with Pakistan There Modi appears to be pursuing a strategy of “peace through strength” Despite Obama’s obvious partisan and ideological differences with Reagan he should aim to support Modi’s agenda with one major modification Last May Modi began his term with a bold and friendly diplomatic gesture He invited his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in ceremony Since then however Modi has limited diplomatic engagement and shifted to a harder line with Pakistan rattling nerves in Islamabad and raising eyebrows in Washington Of course it is probably too soon to characterise Modi’s dealings with Pakistan as more than a series of tactical manoeuvres informed by a nationalistic ideology and framed by a history of India-Pakistan animosity and distrust That said Modi is by all accounts a startlingly ambitious character He brings new energy and urgency to New Delhi and is also believed to be playing a long game consolidating his political position so that he can serve at least two five-year terms In this context his harder line towards Pakistan has the potential to grow into a comprehensive strategy one aimed at finally resolving the India-Pakistan dispute through a firm display of India’s strength Reagan’s late Cold War strategy for renewed competition with the Soviet Union was famously founded on a similar principle As he explained in 1986: “Our adversaries the Soviets — we know from painful experience — respect only nations that negotiate from a position of strength” To project that strength the early Reagan administration funded a rapid military expansion and aggressively sought new diplomatic and military means to roll back Soviet influence around the world Reagan’s early rhetoric including the “evil empire” speech of 1983 left no doubt that Washington’s pursuit of détente with Moscow was over and that a tense new chapter of Cold War competition was underway The parallels between Modi and Reagan are striking Like Reagan Modi’s wildly successful election campaign was filled with broad promises to shake off the lethargy that afflicts his nation’s economy and governing institutions Also like Reagan Modi believes that his predecessor was too weak in dealing with the nation’s principal foreign adversaries Modi’s decision to abruptly cancel bilateral foreign secretary-level talks with Pakistan in August and his government’s October threat of “unaffordable costs” in response to cross-border violence evince a hawkishness that Manmohan Singh eschewed One of Reagan’s noteworthy policy shifts was to intensify US covert operations as a way to undermine Soviet-backed governments in Latin America Africa and Afghanistan It is hardly farfetched to imagine that India would do something similar in the Pakistani context Modi’s national security advisor Ajit Doval has argued in favour of precisely this approach Doval wrote in 2011 that in the face of “Pakistan’s unabated covert offensive” India has for too long “failed to retaliate in a proactive manner that could raise costs for Pakistan and compel it to roll back its anti-India terrorist infrastructure” He concluded that “Pakistan has its own vulnerabilities many times higher than India and in its strategic calculus it cannot ignore the threat that India can pose” Modi also appears poised to outrace Pakistan on the nuclear front by investing in capabilities such as submarine-launched missiles and missile defence systems which would prove extraordinarily costly for Pakistan to match or overcome Some of these projects are already underway but Modi seems keen to accelerate progress so that India can break free from long cycles of research and development and field major new weapons systems during his tenure The PM clearly appreciates that India’s conventional force acquisitions are in need of a similar jolt Major acquisitions such as the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft deal cannot be allowed to languish in limbo for another half-decade Supply relationships with firms in Russia and Israel will be maintained and strengthened but Modi may also be ready to engineer a real technological leap forward by landing breakthrough deals with US defence manufacturers In short although India already enjoys tremendous advantages over Pakistan these steps could turn the existing imbalance into a rout The crucial question then is whether India’s newfound strength would actually bring peace with Pakistan Reasoning by historical analogy we should not forget how risky and aggressive Reagan’s early moves looked to the world Indeed without Mikhail Gorbachev who navigated a largely peaceful dismantling of the Soviet empire rather than fighting to the last Reagan’s renewed Cold War could easily have turned hot Pakistan lacking an obvious Gorbachev-like figure could respond to India’s escalations in a tit-for-tat manner refusing to accept Delhi’s dictates no matter the cost For a country like Pakistan already so perilously close to the edge the stress could lead to war or a violent implosion Either would be worse for India (and everyone else) than the troubling status quo This does not mean that Obama should counsel Modi to take a fundamentally different approach Urging India’s forbearance and restraint often makes good sense in a crisis but it is inconsistent with Washington’s longer-term agenda of cultivating a partnership with India as a strong global power and US partner Nor would Modi take kindly to American lectures about how India as the bigger and more responsible party should treat Pakistan with magnanimity to win peace That said the risks of heightened military competition with Pakistan recall the historical lesson that while Reagan intensified his competition with Moscow he simultaneously placed an enormous emphasis on diplomatic outreach and summit diplomacy Reagan’s goal was never to fight and win a war but to force negotiations to a point where Moscow would willingly make concessions Modi’s goal should be the same At present however he has taken India out of serious bilateral negotiations with Pakistan This missing piece of India’s strategy is profoundly dangerous even counterproductive During his trip Obama should press this point; not as a critic but as a friend who recognises the potential of peace through strength

If Nelson is rightthen universities in the future will spend much less time transmitting technical knowledge and much more time transmitting practical knowledge Practical knowledge is not about what you dobut how you do it It is the wisdom a great chef possesses that cannot be found in recipe books Practical knowledge is not the sort of knowledge that can be taught and memorised; it can only be imparted and absorbed It is not reducible to rules; it only exists in practice Now I could give you a theory about how universities can transmit this sort of practical moral wisdombut lets save that Lets focus on practical wisdom in the modern workplace Think about Sheryl Sandbergs recent bookLean In Put aside the debate about the challenges facing women in society Focus on the tasks she describes as being important for anybody who wants to rise in this economy: the ability to be assertive in a meeting; to disagree pleasantly; to know when to interrupt and when not to; to understand the flow of discussion and how to change peoples minds; to attract mentors; to understand situations; to discern what can change and what cant These skills are practical knowledge Anybody who works in a modern office knows that they are surprisingly rare But students can learn these skills at a universitythrough student activitiesthrough the living examples of their professors and also in seminars The problem with the current seminars is that its really hard to know what anybody gets out of them The conversations might be livelybut they flow by so fast you feel as if youre missing important points and exchanges The goal should be to use technology to take a free-form seminar and turn it into a deliberate seminar (Im borrowing Anders Ericssons definition of deliberate practice) Seminars could be recorded with video-camerasand exchanges could be reviewed and analysed to pick apart how a disagreement was handled and how a debate was conducted Episodes in one seminar could be replayed for another Students could be assessedand their seminar skills could be tracked over time So farmost of the talk about online education has been on technology and lecturesbut the important challenge is technology and seminars So farthe discussion is mostly about technical knowledgebut the future of the universities is in practical knowledge For all the latest Opinion News download Indian Express

release of Mani Ratnam’s Kaatru Veliyidai the critics have taken two sides One side points out that Mani Ratnam’s film starring Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari was a let down Another side tells us that the movie was a love story told like never before VC (Karthi) and Leela (Aditi) fall in love – VC is a masochistic animal who thinks women are ‘made’ for certain things Leela is the doctor who asked to be assigned in Kashmir for her first post How the two evolve through the situations – mostly how VC evolves as person is captured in the film This is about that stark memory that so many of us revisit It is about running towards making that memory a part of your reality today It is about taking determined steps in that direction even as the memory starts to get hazy This is yet another Mani Ratnam experience Only this one lacks conviction Screenplay There are so many layers in this film some that might not have a connect with you But the ones that hit a chord do so perfectly Each scene in itself is a stroke of masterpiece each expression a beautiful colour on a canvas Only the picture that forms in the end doesn’t take your breath away for it lacks conviction Direction The tale of Leela Abraham a doctor who works in Srinagar and officer Varun is poetic It starts with Bharatiyar’s poem and ends on an expected note You could marvel at every frame you could applaud Mani Ratnam’s portrayal of a woman who fights falling in love with an arrogant and self-obsessed man It happens often But he nails the struggle that Leela feels beautifully Karthi’s role of a fighter pilot a man who is a study in contradictions is one of the best characters created by the director so far But the film takes a turn for the worse when the characters do not create an impact Mani Ratnam is known to make films with characters that leave the cinema hall with you Neither Leela nor VC manage that Also read |EXCLUSIVE Karthi on Kaatru Veliyidai: Mani Ratnam’s set is the place where I grew up Cast

putting ties with China back on track in 1988 after they were derailed nearly three decades earlier under the first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru Related News BJP’s BEIJING Prime Minister Narendra Modi has much greater political space at home than his predecessor Manmohan Singh in making more confident moves towards China If Singh was hobbled by the Congress party’s ambivalence towards China the BJP has been far less inhibited BJP leaders hawkish in opposition towards China tended to be pragmatic in their approach to Beijing when in power In democracies rightwing parties that talk tough on national security don’t have to look over their shoulder in making bold foreign policy moves They can also count on the support of left and liberal sections when they reach out to presumed national adversaries If Modi generates new warmth in relations with China many of his critics at home will find it hard not to clap Congress leader Rajiv Gandhi certainly gets much credit for putting ties with China back on track in 1988 after they were derailed nearly three decades earlier under the first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru Conventional wisdom however glosses over the fact that it was the BJP’s Atal Bihari Vajpayee who served as India’s foreign minister in the Janata government led by Morarji Desai who first extended the hand of friendship to China after Nehru Vajpayee travelled to Beijing nearly a decade before Gandhi did When he became prime minister Vajpayee surprised Beijing by citing the threat from China as the principal justification for his decision to conduct five nuclear tests in May 1998 less than two months after he was sworn in But Vajpayee moved quickly to repair relations with China Vajpayee took the initiative to resolve the dispute with China over Sikkim During his visit to China in 2003 Vajpayee persuaded Chinese leaders to begin a new political effort to settle the boundary question The fruits from this endeavour fell into the UPA government’s lap two years later in the summer of 2005 in the form of an agreement on the guiding principles for the resolution of the boundary dispute SWEET & SOUR The Congress leadership did not have the political will to push forward on the China relationship The Congress always talked about friendship with China in grandiose terms But it did not have the stomach to take the hard decisions on key issues in India’s China policy: settling the boundary dispute deepening economic cooperation and competing vigorously with Beijing for strategic influence in Asia The Congress leadership seemed paralysed by the fear of offending China and drew red lines for itself on the engagement with other nations especially the United States and Japan Modi appears to be turning this failed policy on its head Despite the deep resentment in the BJP against Washington’s decade-long denial of a visa to Modi the PM has decided that the US must remain central to India’s foreign policy and signalled warmth towards Washington Modi has also drawn close to Japan’s premier Shinzo Abe amidst deteriorating relations between Beijing and Tokyo Modi made bold to refer to China’s “expansionism” from Japanese soil All this does not make Modi “anti-China” in any sense Modi has made it quite clear that he will go a lot further than the Congress government in inviting Chinese investments into India He might also be more open than the UPA government to various Chinese proposals to develop new silk roads — overland and maritime — between China and India At the same time Modi is determined to accelerate India’s military modernisation and strengthen its defences on the contested frontier along the Great Himalayas Modi’s sweet and sour policy towards China has not constrained his engagement with Beijing His hardball diplomacy might actually have improved his standing with Chinese President Xi Jinping MODI WITH XI If Modi is a strong leader who is bringing greater purposefulness to India’s China policy Xi is even more powerful at home He has conveyed a strong interest in transforming relations with New Delhi and is willing to explore opportunities with Modi Sceptics would dismiss such talk by pointing to the multiple challenges facing the bilateral relationship from the boundary dispute to the trade deficit They also point to the growing nationalism in both countries and the intensification of regional competition as real obstacles to substantive bilateral cooperation The engagement between Modi and Xi then is about the tension between the objective limitations and subjective possibilities
