Written by the Nobel Prize winning economist Amartya Sen, this book
is essentially a series of poignant essays narrating India’s history and
how that history has influenced and shaped its cultural identity. Sen
talks about how India has had a long history of public debate (in all
spheres of life) and how heterodoxy was prevalent in Indian society
centuries ago. This vibrant past is something that Sen believes we all
should know about – considering that it can have a deep impact on the
way we embrace our future.
