Amartya Sen 35936 - The argumentative Indian. Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity

Title: The argumentative Indian. Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity
Description: Penguin Books, 2006. Paperback. Pp: 409. From Nobel prize-winning economist Amartya Sen, The Argumentative Indian: Writings on Indian Culture, History and Identity brings together an illuminating selection of writings on contemporary India. India is an immensely diverse country with many distinct pursuits, vastly different convictions, widely divergent customs and a veritable feast of viewpoints. Out of these conflicting views spring a rich tradition of skeptical argument and cultural achievement which is critically important, argues Amartya Sen, for the success of India's democracy, the defence of its secular politics, the removal of inequalities related to class, caste, gender and community, and the pursuit of sub-continental peace.
