Webinar: A meeting of two oceans? Project Noon & Dr Ankur Barua

This video combines a recording from an informational webinar held on Zoom (24 June 2023) with some additional commentary from Project Noon's Dr Saad Ismail.
Do the Upanishads and the Quran share a common philosophical and mystical vision, as the Mughal prince Dara Shukoh (1615-1659) famously declared? Or is it that the two vast oceans of Hindu and Muslim traditions cannot be further apart and ‘never the twain shall meet’? Are Hindus and Muslims destined to live forever in great mutual ignorance of each other’s traditions and worldviews?
Probe such questions with Dr Ankur Barua, Senior Lecturer in Hindu Studies at the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge, and Project Noon, an India-based forum dedicated to improving Hindu-Muslim mutual understanding.
The webinar includes an outline of Hindu worldviews, and introduces the 10 online lectures he will deliver in August 2023. The lecture series is open to anyone interested, and (like this webinar) does not presuppose any prior acquaintance with Hindu socio-religious traditions.
This video is fully captioned.
