An original play based on the exchange of letters and articles between Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore over 25 years, with the Indian freedom struggle as the backdrop. The letters reveal how the two personalities differed significantly on the form and content of the freedom movement. The differences widened over the years. However the depth of their personalities maintained genuine respect for each other in spite of deep differences on ideological grounds

This programme is presented to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee year of both the IIC and Bangalore Little Theatre
