In the evening of 15th June,1920, the students residing in YMCA, going back to India had thrown a dinner in the honour of Rabindranath Tagore. Gurudev made a beautiful speech full of the spirit of love and forgiveness, which quite evidently moves those there very much indeed..
Pearson wrote Andrews that one day Rothenstein invited many persons in a Dinner Party including Rabindranath in the house of Rothenstein where they met W.H.Hudson.
William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 – 18 August 1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist.
Pearson added, " How I wish you had been here after breakfast this morning and has heard him talking about " Woman" in his racy immitable way, saying what empty-headed creatures they are and how they are merely dressed up dolls.This was mainly for the deification of Pratima and Manju."
On 15th june in the morning Rabindranath met Thomas edward Lawrence
( 1888-1935), famous in the first World War and is known as " Lawrence of Arabia". Rathindranath wrote in his diary the interaction of Rabindranath with him;
" My father took him upto his choice.Lawrence said that due to the betrayal of British Government he was feeling ashamed to go to Arab.As a result he could not keep his word to the Arab - and now how he can goto Arab this time.Father told him that the authority of Western Countries were getting more rude these days. This is not same in the case of Indians.The only alternative is to give a blow with double the speed the British does. By this way only they can regain their consciousness. They took him as friend who possesses equal strength as they do."
On 17 June, rabimndranath met with Mantagu and lord Sinha and expressed his desire to go to Germany. Many people invited him to go there though the visit will be non-political one.Mantagu advised him to talk to foreign department.
