About the Play
The Mahatma versus Gurudev is an original conversational piece play that brings to life the dynamic and thought-provoking dialogue between two of India’s most revered figures -Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. Set against the backdrop of events between 1915 and 1941, the play explores the deep ideological and philosophical differences that shaped their views on India’s freedom movement.
Through rich language, music, and vivid character portrayals, the production delves into the personal, political, and cultural tensions between Gandhi - the spiritual-political leader -and Tagore - the visionary poet-philosopher. Rather than simply recreating history, the play thoughtfully addresses complex themes of modernity, nationalism, nonviolence, and education. It invites the audience to reflect on how two brilliant minds could disagree profoundly yet remain bound by mutual respect and a shared love for their country.
