India-Israel Relations			INDIA GIFTS “COLLECTED WORKS OF GANDHI” TO HAIFA UNIVERSITY Ambassador of India Navtej Sarna gifted the “Collected Works of Gandhi” to the President of the University of Haifa, Prof. Aaron Ben-Ze’ev on April 26, 2010 coinciding with the Ninth Annual Israeli Asian Studies Conference at the University of Haifa. While receiving the volumes, Prof. Ben-Ze’ev said that “anyone looking to enrich their lives with the writings of a great man, and anyone searching for a philosophy of truth, love and non-violence, is invited to the University of Haifa Library to read through the writings of Mahatma Gandhi.” He further added that, “It is very easy to follow Gandhi’s teachings in times of peace; the challenge is to follow his teachings in times of conflict.” The presentation of the “Collected Works of Gandhi” by Embassy of India is expected to provide a further fillip to the Modern Indian Studies program at the University’s Department of Asian Studies, which is the only program of its kind in Israel. University of Haifa’s library has now become the only library in all of Israel to possess the entire collection of the works of Mahatma Gandhi. Noted Indian author and historian Prof. Ramachandra Guha delivered the keynote address at the Conference. Back to Top
