庆祝永恒的遗产

缅怀#大师#并致敬

在#拉宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔#诞辰纪念日这一天，为庆祝文学大师泰戈尔诞辰 165 周年，总领事普拉提克·马图尔带领#印度社区在#上海向泰戈尔致敬。泰戈尔曾三次到访过上海（第一次在 1924 年，两次在 1929 年），而他留下的丰富遗产至今仍在延续。

在历史悠久的法租界著名的茂名路（靠近泰戈尔与著名作家徐志摩曾居住过的地方），总领事向泰戈尔半身像献上鲜花，并在鲁迅公园为著名的泰戈尔雕像献上花环，文学大师泰戈尔作为第一位来自亚洲的诺贝尔奖获得者（除了莎士比亚、巴尔扎克、托尔斯泰和高尔基之外，唯一一位非欧洲文学人物出现在文化地标中）仍然是一座活生生的文化桥梁。

总领事强调了加强人文交流的重要性，正如泰戈尔大师所说：“内心无惧，则昂首挺胸...”

Remembering #Gurudev# and paying homage

On #RabindranathTagoreJayanti#, celebrating Gurudev’s 165th birth anniversary, Consul General Pratik Mathur led the Indian community in paying homage to Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore in Shanghai, a city which Gurudev visited thrice (first in 1924 and twice in 1929) and where his rich legacy endures.

Paying floral tributes at Tagore bust at the famous Maoming street in the historic French Concession area (near one of the locations where Tagore stayed with noted Chinese writer Xu ZHIMO) and garlanding the renowned Tagore statue in the Lu Xun public park, where Gurudev as the first Nobel Laureate from Asia (only non European literary figure alongside Shakespeare, Balzac, Tolstoy and Gorky represented in the cultural landmark) is still a living cultural bridge.

Consul General highlighted the significance of strengthening of people to people exchanges, for as Gurudev said, “Where is the mind is without fear and the head is held high…”.
