Gandhiji and Rabindranath Tagore at Santiniketan, 23 April 1940
1940-04-23
Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata
Kolkata, India
Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi had the greatest admiration for each other, though - like true argumentative Indians - they differed and debated on many points. This rare photograph, signed personally by Tagore, shows him with Mahatma Gandhi and Kasturba Gandhi in Santiniketan in April 1940, when Tagore, despite his failing health, invited Gandhi to visit Santiniketan, and the Mahatma responded enthusiastically.
