This issue is in commemoration of 100 years of Rabindranath Tagore's trip to China in April-May of 1924. The Intercivilizational Dialogue Project, along with other organizations, has decided to hold a year-long series of events to commemorate this occasion. This historic trip played a very important role in shaping the cultural and ideological connections between India and China. In this issue, there are addresses given at the various events, as well as articles on the trip, Tagore's association with Tan Yun Shan and on his ideas of Pan-Asian unity. We have also republished excerpts from Tagore's Talks in China and the tribute to him by Bing Xin. The artwork on the cover has been done by Suraj Vashisht, a Bangalore based artist.
