Mr Rajan Kashyap,IAS,(Retd), former  Chief Secretary, Govt. of Punjab discussed how various writers and philosophers like Yuval Noah Harari in Homo Deus and Aldous Huxley in Brave New World predicted the breakneck speed of technology and its application to every aspect of human activity. For this we would survey very briefly the role that art and literature played historically even as economic and technological change was in progress. He quoted one of India’s great philosophers, Professor Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and said “In spite of the fact that the great scientific inventions have liberated us from servitude to nature, we seem to suffer from a type of neurosis, from cultural disintegration. Science has relieved us of grinding poverty, mitigated the tortures of physical pain. Yet we suffer from an inward loneliness.” He did a critical survey of literature and how it changes with trends in society. He discussed Indian literary texts like the Vedas and Upnishads, western philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. He discussed different literary ages and the influence of the socio economic condition on Art and Literature.

Prof. Gurdeepak Singh,  Professor and Director – International Education, Gian Jyoti Group of Institutions, Mohali, discussed the impact of the changing environment, driven by technology, on creativity and vice versa. He discussed the digitisation of Arts and how technology has made available new tools for expression. In this however, some bad art is also being created. The brush pen charcoal is being replaced by a click of the mouse. Sometimes the Art upon conclusion is very different from the Artist’s conception. He said that Technology and Art will be engineering our future. He then discussed the hope and direction for Art and Literature and said that restoration of nature’s balance, psychology, separation, loss, death, disillusion with advance and optimism through faith will be a recurrent theme with the writers and artists the world over. Mr Rajan Kashyap concluded the webinar with his own very touching poem titled ‘My Very Own Prison’ that tells us about how a person feels in the present pandemic.
