Thanks to the generosity of Randhir Jaiswal, the Consul General of India, Fair Observer is hosting the latest of its FO° Talks as an in-person event in New York.
Our speaker will be Professor Srinivas Reddy of Brown University who is a classical scholar, noted author and accomplished sitarist. He will outline the growth and development of Buddhism from its beginnings in modern day Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in India to its spread across South Asia and all the way to Japan.
After his talk, Professor Reddy welcomes questions and looks forward to a rich discussion.
After the question and answer session after the talk, you will be served an Indian dinner.
We look forward to seeing you at an enlightening evening.
