India’s Earthquake Relief Reflects Tagore’s Vision of Universal Humanism, Says Indian Ambassador


YANGON, 23 May 2025-India’s humanitarian response during Myanmar’s recent major earthquake exemplified the compassion and solidarity envisioned by renowned Indian poet and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Ambassador to Myanmar H.E. Abhay Thakur said today.

Speaking at a literary event in Yangon, Ambassador Thakur praised the swift and heartfelt support provided by the Government of India, the Indian diaspora, and affiliated networks during the natural disaster. He described the relief efforts as “an embodiment of Tagore’s vision of universal humanism.”

The remarks were delivered at a special lecture on Tagore’s literary and artistic legacy, part of the Lecture of the Jayatu Bharatam series. The event was co-hosted by the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre of the Indian Embassy and the Tagore Society of Myanmar.

“Many of Tagore’s poems and essays have been translated into the Myanmar language, and his ideas have deeply resonated with Myanmar’s intellectuals. His Nobel Prize-winning poetry collection Gitanjali has become the spiritual voice of India. That voice still echoes today, here in Yangon,” Ambassador Thakur noted.
