Description
In sixteen linked essays, Nobel Prize–winning economist Amartya Sen discusses India’s intellectual and political heritage and the way its argumentative tradition is important for the luck of its democracy and secular politics. The Argumentative Indian is “a bracing sweep via aspects of Indian history and culture, and a tempered research of the highly charged disputes surrounding these subjects–the character of Hindu traditions, Indian identity, the rustic’s large social and economic disparities, and its current place on the planet” (Sunil Khilnani, Financial Times, U.Ok.).
