The key-note speech by Mr. Ritesh R, Assistant Professor from the School of Creativity, Rishihood University, Haryana, highlighted various similarities between Greek and Indian mythology. Additionally, he discussed how we can view the world from a multicultural and global perspective.
He compared the Trojan War of Greek mythology with the Ramayana of Indian mythology. Although the two cultures are so far apart, they share a lot in common. Students shared their thoughts about the similarities and differences between the two mythologies. Following the presentation, students were given the opportunity to satiate their curiosity by asking questions to the speaker. A video was created by each student to share their thoughts on the topic.
Overall, the collaboration was a great enriching experience for all. It promoted the spirit of international mindedness and world harmony.
