About this recording

Title as given by the source: Bithika was married to Naba Kumar Mukherjee (1930-2015), an agro-economist and senior faculty of the Sriniketan Rural Reconstruction department of Visva Bharati, who later founded the Elmhirst Institute of Community Studies. She had spent many years in Sriniketan and on 19 January 2015 she talked candidly about the difference between Santiniketan and Sriniketan as she felt it; about the warmth and intimacy of Sriniketan and its hands-on approach to life as opposed to the art and artifice of Santiniketan. She had once been part of a mission to Dartington Hall in Devon, the institute Leonard Elmhirst had set up on the model of Rabindranath’s Visva Bharati. Interestingly, during our conversation two days later with Supriyo and Shubhra Tagore, they too had talked about visiting Dartington Hall.
