Gandhi’s legacy and the Satya Graha movement have proved potent inspiration not only for the freedom movement in India, but elsewhere in the world including the American Civil Rights movement and the freedom movement in South Africa. In this program composer Philip Glass and Asia Society president Vishakha Desai engage in a lively discussion on Gandhi’s principles and their legacy for today, moderated by Gustav Niebuhr associate professor of religion and the media and director of the Luce Project on Religion, Media and International Relations at Syracuse University. Presented by Asia Society and Syracuse University.
