Hindol Sengupta’s intriguing title
of a five column article in the
Deccan Chronicle Saturday 05, 2019 reads ‘Everything you heard about Gandhi and
Capitalism is wrong’. And in the article
Hindol states “...when I was writing Recasting India, I discovered
what I think of as the greatest lie ever told about Gandhi...that he was
somehow against business, against enterprise or against entrepreneurship...”
Films don’t just only stir our imagination, they
become mirrors to society, educate us, and
inspire us too. So the
choice of films for the
monthly film screening programme of IASE, Cinema Talkies were films on the life of Gandhiji...The simple rationale being
that if Hindol made a discovery ...won’t the viewing of films on
Gandhi help understand the father
of the nation better through multiple
perspectives.
This time the
special invitees for the screening were the NCC cadets of Govt.Model HSS,Thrissur. The screening commenced after
a brief talk on Gandhian ideals by Sri. Jagadeeshan of the Gandhi Smaraka Nidhi.
