The Argumentative Indian

India is a large and very diverse country with many distinct pursuits, vastly different convictions, widely divergent customs, and a veritable feast of viewpoints. The Argumentative Indian brings together an illuminating selection of writings from Nobel prize-winning economist Amartya Sen that outline the need to understand contemporary India in the light of its long argumentative tradition. The understanding and use of this rich argumentative tradition are critically important, Sen argues, for the success of Indias 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.

  Argumentative Indian, Posted on: December 28, 2011
Reviewed by: Veerakesari
Indians like to speak. Amartya Sen argues in his stimulating book 'the argumentative Indian'. In this 400 page magnificent work, he gives insight into culture, identity and history of India. His arguments about the significance of literacy in the women empowerment and grave side of nuclear bomb are must read. It is the collection of essays that he has written over the period of time. A must addition to anyone's shelves who is interested in India.
