Indian Embassy in Moscow in collaboration with the Russian State Duma will organise an exhibition today dedicated to the mutual influences of Mahatma Gandhi and Leo Tolstoy on each other’s work. An Embassy statement said, the exhibition, curated by renowned Gandhian scholar, Dr. Birad Yajnik, will showcase the correspondence between the two great souls of the 20th century, tracing their relationship and the impact it had on their individual journeys.
On the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Gandhi, the exhibition juxtaposes Tolstoy’s Bread Labour and Gandhi’s Satyagraha, and their understanding of truth, kindness and love being the solution for this world.
