India Today
Teachers and alumni of the Visva Bharati University have raised their voices against the upcoming seminar on Goddess Kali.
Teachers and alumni of the Visva Bharati University have raised their voices against the upcoming seminar on Goddess Kali, which is slated to be held in the varsity premises.
After Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra's remark on Goddess Kali sparked outrage across the nation, a seminar was planned to be held at the Visva Bharati University on the concept of Goddess Kali.
The seminar is scheduled to be organised at Visva Bharati Library on July 25.
Sharad Atmanand of Ramakrishna Ashram has been called as the keynote speaker to discuss the concept of Goddess Kali. Bidyut Chakrabarty, Upacharya of Visva Bharati will also be attending the program.
As soon as the news of the program broke out, alumni and teachers of the varsity have opposed it and have been quite vocal about their stance.
The Vishwa Bharti Teachers' Organization is also against the seminar on Goddess Kali. Supriya Thakur, a descendant of Rabindranath Tagore, has also come out in opposition to it.
