Noted historian, biographer and author Rajmohan Gandhi participated in an online lecture on international history organised by DAV College. Gandhi, who is the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, was speaking from the USA, where he is based. Speaking on the subject of a changing world from a perspective of an Indo-American, Gandhi said Indians have had a history of braving the odds and the Covid-19 induced uncertain times require a humanist approach to deal with the pandemic.
“Our strength as Indians has always been the ability to help others in need, and even today, we need our youths to take that responsibility of maintaining peace and establishing a society without bias, discrimination,” he said. He also added a few interesting observations about flaws and strengths of Indians living in USA.
The lecture series has been started by the PG Department of History, travel and Tourism, DAV College and features eminent speakers from across the globe. The series is being held under the UGC-sponsored Gandhian Study Centre. More than 800 people registered themselves to hear to Prof Gandhi and others talk about topics related to international history.
